Custom AN6 Hose Features
-
AN6 Hose
Choose stainless steel braided if you're looking for the highest pressure rating and maximum abrasion resistance. Alternatively, the black nylon cotton braided option offers a sleek, modern look and is slightly more flexible and lightweight than the stainless steel braided. Whichever braiding you choose, they both have the same reinforced rubber inner core, which delivers consistent and reliable oil, fuel and coolant transfer.
-
Bespoke AN6 Fittings
AN6 braided hoses tailor-made to your exact specifications. Choose from various AN6 fittings available in different angles, or choose a hose finisher for a neat way to terminate an open-ended hose. You can also add optional adapters to the fittings for a seamless integration into most AN6 hose systems.
-
360 Degree Swivel Fittings

How to make custom AN6 lines?
Our custom braided hose builder makes designing your custom hoses a breeze. Simply choose your hose fittings, add adapters and banjo bolts if needed and finally, choose your hose length and heatsleeve if you need it. We'll start assembling your hoses as soon as we receive your order.
-
How do I measure the hose?
The easiest way to measure your custom hose is with a piece of flexible wire or sturdy string. Make sure you go around all objects and follow all curves to make sure you don't measure the hose too tight, or the hose will be stretched when you fit it. You need to measure from the seats of male and female fittings and from the center of the hole on banjo fittings. Refer to the two vertical lines on the hose builder diagram when building your hoses as the length measurement will change depending on the chosen fitting.
-
How are your AN6 hose fittings attached to the hose?
Our braided hose fittings feature a modern, tapered screw design for a tight, leak-free connection. First, we slide the fitting collar onto the cleanly cut hose, then with the hose secured in an aluminium vice, we use an aluminium spanner to screw the nut end of the fitting into its collar. We're very careful not to over tighten as this can crack and damage the fitting.
-
Are your custom braided hoses suitable for track use?
Our custom AN hoses have been tested and trusted at the highest levels of motorsport, including British Touring Cars and Drift Masters
