I am trying to find a mfg or supplier for well made, high pressure, quick disconnect aluminum fittings. I want to use them for some of my oil and fuel lines but have been unable to find a good source. Can anyone help? I wonder how expensive they are?

For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, take a look at the photo of the Audi R8 and notice all the colourful fittings.

Thanks

**Update - I found a company called Jiffy Tite but would still appreciate leads for others.**

Stuttgart

where are you located?

Those on the R8 look like Jiffy Tite to me - that line is available from most racing supply places.

They're not jiffy tite, and they are expensive. But the jiffy tite ones will probably work fine.

A long way from you Do you have any advice for me? I assume your last comment means the fittings the Audi teams guys are using are more costly than the Jiffy Tite parts?

If the you want the best one available - Parker Stratoflex - generally available in steel, aluminum or titanium -- I would use no other! As to oil lines, check the psi, but the aluminum should work. As to the fuel lines, check both the pressure and the compatibility (or the lack thereof) of any o-rings in the QDV with the fuel.

P.S. QDV's also used on transmission lines, in certain brake lines, in calipers.

Those look like "Wiggins Clamps" to me. Extremely expensive but high quality.

You might try HRPWORLD.COM. They have Jiffy tite, Aeroquip and Goodridge. Click their racing products tab and go from there.

The water line connectors are Wiggins Clamp Assemblies, the oil and fuel line connectors are either Staubli or Krontec.
