I'll be interested, especially if they are cheaper and even more as you're local.

In see the same guy has the rails for sale for £90 on their own, which seems very reasonable for CNC billet alloy rails. I'd be rather wary about the quality of those fittings though as it makes them available for £60 for the lot which is crazily cheap, it would cost over £200 to buy that lot from Goodridge etc in UK. Does anyone have any knowledge of their quality, I notice he's in Estonia

I tried but the feedback, although 100%, doesn't actually tell me much about the products. I was hoping that someone who has bought these fuel rails would comment on this thread. I might buy a set myself, its worth £150 for the fittings alone if they're decent quality.

Due to my current work load I won't be able to start these for 3-4 weeks. They will take 1-2 weeks to make and have anodised .

I will be more than happy to run a group buy on these , will be able to post price's up in the next couple of weeks .


Will also supply goodridge parts so they will come with orignal fittings



Cheers chris

Kunglao - correct me if im wrong here but isnt it you who sells the fuel rails shown here on e-bay?

If so please tell us more about them instead of saying look at the feedback.

What fittings are you supplying with the kit?
Where is everything made?
What testing has been done?
Which cars are running this kit?
What is your background?

Thanks

Duncan

I bought an "Aeromotive" style fuel pressure regulator with -6 fitting on ebay a while back, purely for evaluation purpose. Whilst he regulator looked OK, a very good copy, the fittings were certainly of inferior quality to Goodridge fittings, they had sharp edges, the threads wern't as good, generally a bit nasty but saying that they were actually usable. There's no way they were Goodridge ones without the Logo.

Personally in my converted fuel rail kits I only supply fittings made by Exact Engineering in the UK. These are of the same quality or better than the Goodridge, in fact the 90 degree female bends are much nicer, more compact and better flowing bends. You only get what you pay for. The retail price of these 90's is £25 + VAT so you can easily see how the price mounts up for the full set required for the parallel conversion.

I do get asked for cheaper alternatives so I would be interested to see the quality of the ones from the Estonian supplier.

Martin - I dont see why folk are so keen to save money on something like fuel fittings. For safety if nothing else its worth having propper fittings in there. I'd hate to see the results of a fuel fitting going, spaying fuel on a hot turbo and exhaust!!!
If I was you I would'nt take the chance of having your kits associated with inferior products.

I'm a great fan of the saying - If you cant afford to do it right, dont do it at all.

Yes, you are quite right Duncan and I would only ever consider a cheaper option fitting if I was 100% conviced that they were actually up to the job. It does amaze me how often I see people spend £1000's converting their engines and yet want to skimp on the fuel system. I often get asked if I can supply adaptors for the converted -6 fuel rail ends so they can use "push-on" rubber pipe with jubilee clips....completely pointless!

Not sure where Goodridge have there parts made tbh , You maybe right?

BUT ...

All parts would still have to go through Goodridge ISO as there is no way they would risk there reputation- thats why you pay for what you get with them , so it's not just a logo.

I would be more than happy to supplier Goodridge parts at my trade price's with my fuel rails
