I don't think those two pictures show enough reason to denounce earls as good quality fittings. I stand by their quality and very large range of connectors, adaptors and colours.

ok thanks guys ill check it out oh and nice engine bay AD4M alsohow do you go about putting the fittings on do you have to make a thread in the covers or what ???

also which sort of fittings do i need eg. male/male or female/female or male/female

cheers

Hey mate, you need to have the 'weld-on' fittings welded on, they are only a few bucks a throw. From there you just screw on your fittings.

If you go hose end like in ad4ms picture then its fairly simple, you can just hose clamp the lines to your catch can. If you want to use braid then you'l need matching fittings welded to the catch can.

So your up for the two weld-ons, the two 90deg -10 fittings (hose end or braid) and the respective lines etc.

By far the easist (note, not the cheapest!) way to do it, is take your covers down to GoGear, if you buy the fittings there they will organise the welding which saves you driving around trying to find a decent ally welder (there arent many). Other option is buy through couplers who are much cheaper but you will then need to sort out the welding yourself. Cheaper again is to use earls fittings, and again you;l need to organise having the weld-ons.

Hope you havent painted your covers yet :)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
