[F500] 3-AN Stainless Hardware

[Ted Rudolph]

Looks like it's time for some post-season maintenance (as opposed to
"mid-season blown 493 maintenance").

Anyone know a supplier for 3-AN Stainless fittings? I need to re-do the brake
lines on both my cars and would like to replace the regular steel fittings
with Stainless. The usual suppliers (Areoquip, Earls, etc) and the usual
catalogs don't list stainless fittings. Industrial suppliers list 4-AN and up
in stainless, but not 3-AN. Are they even available?

Looking at the level of corrosion on my Red Devil (Solo Car), I'm hesitant to
replace steel with steel, and the brass H/W doesn't have the strength. Would
Al mixed with Stainless hard lines have any galvanic effects? That's the
current set up on my track car, but I'd replace it in a heartbeat with some
shiny heavy metal.

Thanks,
-Ted
