Coolant Hose Braiding

Hi Guys
I bought a hose braiding kit whilst in the States but it hasn't got enough of the end finishing pieces which look like anodised nuts. Anyone any idea where I might get these separately? The kit is manufactured by Spectre Industries.
Cheers.
Dek

Forgot to add I know they can be obtained though thinkauto but but they are £18 each for a 1.7 in one! Is this the normal price in the UK-I only paid 46 bucks for the whole kit.

They are expensive.
I think europa stock them, as well as several other manufacturers.
If you get stuck pm me and i'll dig out details of some of the suppliers i have filed somewhere.

If you want a blue anodised one (or 2) I might have these kicking around somewhere. Make me an offer, if interested, but tell eme xactly what you want.
I started off on the hex ones, and the went to the full round ones.

Stuart,
I straed off with one of those kits.
One of the issues is that its not stainless braid, and looks rather faided after a while.
The anodised fasteners are not bad though.

Thanks Kevin-unfortunately my kit has the red end caps.
Thanks for the offer though.

if you do, make sure you ask them, exactly what the total cost of shipping, but I'm sure others can comment better than me. I'll see if I can find the names of some other suppliers (Iwho were cheaper than europa).

Also watch out for Summit`s $23 overseas order surcharge. It can make a small order quite pricey.
