I use aluminum fittings although I've been told not to. One trick w/ this hose, you gotta remove the outer cloth jacket where the AN fitting fits over it. Other than that, good stuff. Local supply. Not a bad price. Havent bought any in a while, but I like it.
The outer cloth jacket will also not saw through wiring and other stuff. Lives well in a racecar environment.
I use it for my oil cooler lines as well.
