I live close to gasoline alley, and have been to several speed shops there.
Earl's has some familiarity with homebuilts, and doesn't flinch in the
slightest. As they put it, nothing would give them more grief than if
their products failed during the Indy 500. Also, unlike Aeroquip, Earl's
hoses don't require any special tools to assemble. All the components are
reusable, as well. With the larger fittings (I have up to 3/4) padded or
aluminum tools would be nice, but I just used a couple layers of T shirt
material to pad my steel tools. The catalog has embedded tutorials on how
to make up assemblies from their parts. The shop also has a lot of stuff
not in the catalog, including a pretty complete line of AN hardware, SCAT,
some electrical goodies, a full line of the various grit scotch brite pads,
a big bowl of Jolly Ranchers, lots of useful knowledge and insights, and a
sense of humor. All in all, a very good place to do business.

The next shop down the street, North American Race Parts, suggested I could
trailer my plane to their shop and stand there and watch as they custom
made all my oil lines to fit, and for only the cost of the parts. That
would have saved me from buying and using all the different mandrels for my
different hose sizes, but that would have meant using Aeroquip. For a
couple of reasons, I've decided not to use them.
While a lot of places absolutely will freak at the mention of aircraft
usage for their goods, Earl's isn't one of them. I can't say enough good
about the guys at Earl's Indy.

When asked the question I always tell them it is for a three wheeled off

road vehicle. No lies, only the truth.

We needed to replace the electrical connection point on the alternator (stripped threads) for HRII N561FS. Took it to a local repair shop and when ask "What's it from ?" we answered very truthfully, "It's from a homebuilt RV, We would have brought it but it's not drivable on the road yet". 8*) KABONG

A local auto electric shop rebuilt the starter for the Cherokee that I
flew and they charged the same as if it had come off of a tractor. The
FBO takes things in there regularly.
