I see that Jeg's has the hose and fittings to do the compressor plumbing with AN type hose and re-usable fittings. Anyone here ever used that stuff yet? The Sanden 508 compressor shown on the same catalog page uses AN type fittings also. They list -8 and -10 hose/fitting sizes, which don't seem very big compared to OEM stuff, but the OEM hoses llikely have more wall thickness.
Seems like a simple way to do a custom (different) AC set-up, with the hoses being cut to fit just right etc.
They don't mention if the AN mandrels are required to assemble them.
