Default Braided Hoses

Guys that have swapped out any stock hoses possible to braided ones, where did you get the hose from? Also are you using the fake AN fitting hose clamps, or somehow actually use real AN fittings?

I did my AC and PS hoses in true braided with AN fittings. It all had to be custom made and wasnt cheap but it looked WAY nice. The radiator hoses would be HARD to get in true AN braided since the radiator side is plastic an you couldnt weld on the AN fittings.

I used the factory black radiator hoses with chrome AN-like fittings (fancy hose clamps).. You can see pics at my website under the 2000 SS section.

Hope this helps some.

Did you do the AN fittings yourself, or is there a shop in our area that does these?
