Question about Detail Master AN fittings...

[chyknees]

I just picked up the Detail master braided line #3. I was wondering which fittings would fit it? On their site, they list compression/pipe/adapter fittings. I'm guessing its the adapter fittings, but they have no pictures to show them. On the back of the braided lines package it lists some stuff, but not 100% on which adapter fitting to pick up. Thanks guys.

here's a pic of what i got, just incase you are stumped on what i'm saying.

It tells you right on the package which fittings work with the braided line, in the blue block directly below the staple.
The DM fittings are named after the actual fittings they replicate, so all you need to do is match the DM P/N's listed in front of you the package to the description, which will also give you the correct size fitting for your braided line, and then figure out what type of fittings you need.

Or, stuff DM fittings, and make your own out of hex styrene rod.



Whatever you use, it's a real pain to stuff the ends of the braided line in anything without fraying it! Good luck....

I've found that a small spot of superglue on the end of the braided line stops it fraying as you try to insert it in the fitting.
Of course you have to let the glue dry before inserting the line through the fitting.

oh ok. i wasn't 100%, because it just lists the numbers liek 3023, 3033, 3043 (example), and isn't really distinguished which is for which, but i guess the first number is the one that fits. just wanted to make sure before i order them. thanks.

Those are DM part numbers, you have to match the part numbers to the descriptions, that is the only hard part about it

is .035" too big for a 1/25 revell honda motor? I forgot where i read it, but i think .025" or .020" would be perfect. Does anyone know?
