Any suggestions where to get brass barbed fittings?
Looking for a push on barb at one end, and a threaded connector at the
other. Most of the places I've found have been either trade suppliers or us sites recommending places like Home Depot. I'm looking at connecting 6mm silicon vacuum hose to a barbed connector to be screwed into a brass or aluminium T-piece. Also looking for a source of small coil springs that would fit inside the T piece too. Plan is to assemble a small manual boost controller for a turbo car application, using a knurled allan cap bolt and locknut to adjust the boost. -- "Sorry Sir, the meatballs are Orf" The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com |

Sounds like a DIY job if you have a lathe On second thoughts, a company which sells parts for compressors. If you specify your requirement a bit more precisely, there's one round the corner from my factory, I can go and see what they have -- geoff |
