[Shotimes] help with braided AN hose & fittings

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Justin:
 I had a tough time with this too!  I ended up using my Dremel tool cut off
wheels. Much smaller and easier to control. With the big air powered cut off
wheels I always had a hairs of the braid give me trouble. Could not get a
clean edge to insert the end. Also watch out for scratching the nice
anodized fittings! I wrapped tape around them before using a wrench. I have
seen a no mark wrench for sale too.

> Actually NOT working on the SHO at the moment, it's doing very well after
the front wheel bearing replacement. Plumbing the fuel system for the
Mustang, and need help. I've never messed with this braided fuel hose and
the pretty red and blue -6 AN fittings before, but am quickly learning why
everyone I've heard talk about it was usually cussing. Anyone have any nifty
tips or tricks? I know I need to tape it before cutting it with a cutoff
wheel, and the tape is supposed to come off before putting the red end on
the hose (which eventually threads into its blue counterpart). This
seemingly straightforward task is proving quite daunting, and any insight
would be greatly appreciated!
