In order to procure the correct hose, however, I need the exact thread description, not just the OD of the hose end. Does anyone know whether the fitting is english or metric? And what the thread might be?

Also, the Earl hoses are available in either 3mm or 4mm ID, which would also need to be known in order to fit the existing hose ends if they must be re-used.

Thanks,
Troutman lines are stainless steel, not regular steel. The plastic sleeve is just for additional protection.
BTW, at warehouse33auto.com with the 10% rennlist discount the set is $87

IMHO, By having hoses made, you are making something that is simple, complicated.
