Just about all your banjo needs are now covered... if you want to go that way. These are to suit GT42, T3 T4 etc etc, well anything with an 18mm x 1.5 Banjo. I have all the other common sizes as well :>

We also offer fit out services here @ Missile. If you know the length of the lines you need and the fittings needed on each end we are happy to put them together.
Thanks

Just for looks really, fits the top radiator hose on a VL.
I am still trying to chase down real braided hose to do radiator hoses and so forth. The covers are crap.
To do it ala real spec with -20 hose ends can get pretty expensive..

I generally use Goodridge lines from Competition Friction in the ACT. Honestly I have done off road buggies and track cars and the like with my braided hose and fittings. It works and works well and they have never had a problem. For what its worth I use the same fittings as HEL... I distribute Aeroquip as my standard Teflon Fitting.

Ok new product alert..
I am having manufactured some Bosch pump check valve/filter fittings all rolled into one.
Quite simple, they screw in the end of an 044 for arguments sake, have a high flow check valve a 30 micron filter all in the one fitting. The units are all serviceable and thus give just about an infinite service life. Come in red, blue, black and polished.
Best of all they will come in at a very competitive price.
Stay tuned I will have pictures up shortly.
Thanks Luke@Missile

Just to show I am still alive and kicking along with some cool cars..
A VS Race car with a LS2 and A6 transplant that I supplied the fuel system parts for.
Its a real credit to James with the attention to detail considering he is going to hill climb it and race it.

The fittings are pressed on not screw on so thats why HEL get the approvals.
alot of the braided in my bay and boot was supplyd by Luke.

Thats looking really good Matty. Thats exactly right about the brake lines, I can and do have the correct tools to make crimped brake lines but choose not to.

How much would a boot cell setup like that VS cost. Im considering it for my LS VL but am in two minds. I wouldnt use a cell that involves cutting into the boot floor though.

its not just the fact that they are crimped as to why they are ADR compliant. You have to purchase the specific machine (worth about $20,000) to make the lines to also gain ADR compliance. You cant simply make a crimped line and say its ADR because its crimped. It doesnt work that way. (and if you are in an accident and have braided brake lines and you cant prove it with a receipt from one of these places with the ADR machine, you can bet your insurance company will use it as an excuse not to pay up thats for sure!)

Exactly the reason I don't want to go into it, having access to the tools to do the job but not owning them opens up a plethora of litigation possibilities. I like going to sleep at night knowing that everything I have supplied will work as intended and not put anyone at risk.

Depends on exactly how you plumb it really, I've done a few now, well a lot of them and not one has been done the same. Figure $100 for hose, $100 for fitting would get it to the factory hardlines I would think. Thats why I always get a clear understanding on what the customer wants before I start quoting.

I have some late model LS coils in stock ;)
They are a pretty good thing and a great replacement for RB25 coils etc. They have inbuilt igniters and more than enough grunt to light off Meth at 1000+hp levels.
Email or PM for more info.
