Need a plug for my FAST fuel rails, where to get it? I am trying to find a black plug for the passenger side front of my FAST fuel rails. I got a kit that had a plug for it but to tighten it you have to use a flathead screwdriver and it scores it up pretty good.
Any idea who sells a male or female hex head plug that is black with the o-ring seal?

We have a automotive fastner place behind our shop man, so I am sure you have one in Charlotte. Take that thing down to one and match it up to what you want.

For some reason, I can only find non-black, hex head port plugs that are -8 ORB like you need. Aeromotive has the -8 ORB slim line (like you currently have), and a -10 ORB hex head port plug in black, and they also have a black -8 ORB hex head port plug, but it has a 1/8" NPT port drilled through the middle (so you'd have to seal that with a plug).
I guess you could always buy a blue one, strip the anodizing off with oven cleaner and have someone anodize it black for you, but that's a lot of work (granted, it would be something I'd do).

Yea, I can not find anything from anyone in black of what I really want. I have a local place I was going to check out (BSR) because I know they have a lot of fittings. At least I can get a hex head without paying so much to ship it.

I found a nice low profile black anodize internal hex AN 8 ORB plug.

I had PM a sponsor about getting a kit for hook up a set of rails to the factory line and was told that it was a waste of money to just swap that. Actually they used the term 'appearance only'. So I'm now looking elsewhere to get what I need.
Thanks for those links, it will help in my quest.

Alchemist,
Sorry, I dropped the ball concerning a response to your fuel system thread. PM me and I'll help you out. I do agree that fuel rails and AN line is mostly an apprearance upgrade if only plumbed from the factory line at the firewall forward.

I talked with Speed INC, and they will get me hooked up.

I agree with you, but I was just surprised with the lack of interest I got from a sponsor, actually two of them. Fact is, it's an appearance mod now, but down the road if I decide to go larger, or more accurately, need to go larger, than I already have them.

Appearance mod? Sure, but aftermarket rails give you WAY more options for plumbing in the future should you decide to run an aftermarket FPR up front like I do. It got rid of my horrendous pressure drops at WOT with the stock dead head setup.
