Galaxie filter fitting

mickmate · #1 (**permalink**) 09-02-2011, 04:33 PM

Anyone know where I can get a brass flare fitting that seats in a shoulder inside the nut on the housing? It's almost like a compression fitting sleeve but with a different taper on one end and a shoulder on the other.

I'm going to try making one for the time being.
Thanks for any help.

MM, did you try posting that question on the FE forum?

I did not, good suggestion thanks. I actually turned one on the lathe and it even works so I'm feeling quite clever and independent right now.

is this what you mean?

Hi Fred, no I didn't even stop to get a pic I was so excited to try it. I'll see if I can shoot one down in the end of the filter.

are you talking about an inverted flare?

Yes, that mates with the flared tube end and has steps on the diameters to fit the other end into the filter.

Just realized you're looking for the male version. I got mine from Summit Racing. Male Thread Inverted Flare Nut
