I need to know where i can get a new compression fitting for my boost line, i have autometer ultra lites. I took my gauges out to paint my pillar and i need a new compression ring. is there any local hardware store tha would have them, i went to lowes alst ngiht adn they didnt have any small enough.

Thanks,
Kevin

 

Don't know if they're the same as mine, I have Isspro gauges, but I am using 1/4" plastic tubing like you would use to feed an icemaker in a refrigerator. I just had to do a repair, too, and found everything I needed at an Ace Hardware store. It was about $2 for enough stuff to do two ends. It includes the nut, compression sleeve, and the piece that goes inside the hose so it won't be crushed when you tighten the compression nut. I bet Lowes has them, just maybe not where you might think to look for it.

 

I think my Autometer was a 1/8 compression fitting and you will probably find that at Nappa or the likes.

 

Yeah, the Automitter uses the 1/8" brass fittings...any hardware or plumbing store should have them...also anywhere that services gas heaters, stoves water heaters...

 

or Home Depot

 

Ive never found a Lowes or Home depot that carries 1/8 compression fittings. I had to goto my local farm supply store(Agri) to get them. May have better luck at Napa.

 

Every Napa I've been in has them. They also have higher quality tubing by the foot than what usually comes with a gauge kit.

 

CarQuest has them also.

 

go to a real hardware store... Lowes and Home Depot are good for lamps and bathtubs, but when you actually need HARDWARE go to a hardware store...

I havent tried napa, it was kinda of alate night thing, but i went to home depot and they didnt ahve then, then i went to the local sears hardware and they didn't have them. But i will try nappa later, i kinda like letting the truck sit in the garage during the week, saves money on duel and keeps the miles low, and from the snow it keeps that salt off.
