Just switched all my fuel lines in the engine bay to the black russell lines and believe it or not the weight savings is half.
just need to get the -12 an for the cell and radiator lines and then it will be finished.

They do look good, was gonna use them when i got my trans lines made.... but something about that silver/red/blue just looks right !!!! ... it would look even better with those black /gold fittings !
 
I like that look! Looks good..
 
I've been using the black Goodridge 210 hose for a couple of years now. It looks good there SSR. Are you running braided line all the way front to rear?

running ss braided -10an from pump to regulator.also i run a -8an return line to the cell. i am a little leary of the black lines under the car especially the oil lines. the car has a tendency of doing crazy wheelstands and dont need to rip the soft black line coming down.
getting some -12 an for the radiator hoses and fuel cell to pump next week.

i trying to shave as much weight off as i can to get this car around 3200 lbs.

Looks good, those fiber coverings are a lot lighter than the stainless braided coverings, it's a great way to save some weight & looks great to boot... Are they the teflon lined? or just the rubber lined?
 
If you dont mind? how much did it all cost? was it a kit with hoses and fittings? or did you piece it together? looks real clean.

$65.00 for just the black hose. i kept all my old fittings.i was going to go all black fittings but figured these blue/red are fine for now,theres nothing wrong with them.

i got bigger fish to fry right now.
 
Those black hoses look good with the contrasting red & blue A/N fittings....

Yeah Black and white....like the contrast....here is original. I have since changed the blue fittings to black and went with black banjo fittings for a cleaner look.
