    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Hey Rob -I'd measure up how much room you've got and how big the quick releases are.-Im probably cack handed but on my SV I was getting hose kinks and the qr were a pain to use.--probably it was just me
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Have used motion pro ones for years. And as Frosty says, you need to ensure you have enough room in the line given they don't flex....

    The Motion Pro ones are what I would describe as 'decidedly average'. There are ones that look very much the same, but made in metal. Try and get those if you can.

    I suppose having to replace 2-3 o rings total on 8 motion pro fittings in 10 years is decidedly average. But what would I know.

    Go to your local Enzed shop, or boating supplies place. They will have bins of the things.

    I used to use Motion pro one but it was a pain in restricted area (it was a pain in the proverbial restricted area, ho-ho), which is what most under tank areas are. Was difficult to fully engage so the gas didn't start to flow. Persevered for a year or two but decided it was quicker & easier to just turn the tap off & use some pliers to release the hose clip.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    try phoning enzed or your local hydraulic/pnuematic hose/connector supply place, blackwood paykels etc. also PBshop (paintballshop) have small airline QDs that would fit but may restrict flow.
    any metal (arrow style) airline fittings should work as long as they don't have rubber seals.
