Can get barrell style anywhere.who has cone type?

[steve welte]

Order them from Reikens Racing. they are .80 each. Napa charges a fortune. I usually get a dozen at a time.

Steve C, which type were you looking for?  The "barrel" type - 



or the "hat" type -

[jeff brown]

That hat type with the nut that has a flat bottom is highly recommended for brakes.  Buy your brake line from a supplier like Comet, there's some Chinese junk around that is no good .

Looking for hat style reikens and comet thanks

Eaton long nut PN 1611X3 (for 3/16 nylon tube)
Eaton sleeve PN 601X3 " " " "
The olive ferrules are for copper tube.
NAPA carries Eaton fittings.
