Stainless AN Hose Ends Available Anywhere?
 
I've been trying to find stainless steel hose ends to finish a current build I'm working on. Unfortunately, Holley discontinued the Earl's Performance stainless hose ends, so I need to do something else on this new build. Is there an alternative manufacturer?

i tried searching on here and saw Russell and Aeroquip mentioned, but I don't see anything available from Russell and I don't really see anything available from Aerquip that's like what Earl's previously had.

Sorry, but none of the hose ends you linked compare to what was previously available from Earl's with their stainless Auto-Fit hose ends. Maybe I wasn't clear, but I'm looking for hose ends that are themselves made of stainless steel. I need a variety of sizes (-4, -6, -8, and -10 AN) with different bends available (straight, 45-degree, 90-degree, and 180-degree). I was hoping to find a true alternative to what was available previously with Earl's Auto-Fit stainless line.

DarkRegent,

Looks like the Summit option is as close as you're going to get. Earl's? Check. Stainless? Check. They look pretty much exactly like what Holley has remnant stock of on their website, listed as "AutoFit". What more are you looking for?

Thanks. Brad.

You said it yourself, they only have "remnant stock" of the Earl's fittings, which are discontinued, and they don't have anything left that matches the criteria I listed, that you quoted. Yes, I've already been through all of Summit's listings. I've spent hours and hours googling on my my own trying to find an alternative to the previous Earl's offerings. If it was that easy, I wouldn't be asking for help. I was hoping someone here might know of a niche/international/industrial brand (AN/JIC) that isn't well advertised.

My guess is there likely isn't an actual alternative to the now-discontinued Earl's stainless Auto-Fit product line, but I was hoping to be proved wrong.

DarkRegent,

I said HOLLEY had remnant stock. This is not to say that what Summit has is what you’re looking for. Just that it appears to be as close as you’re going to get.

Do you have any pics of what you’re looking for? I Googled “AutoFit” and came up with exactly what Summit has to offer. Genuinely curious as to what the difference is.

Thanks. Brad.
