Anyone Have a EARL Hose crimper?

[badazz81z28]

I want to install -12 Earl Ultra Pro Hose for my oil tank as I want a more flexible hose. The problem is the O-ring Port to -12 fitting only comes in crimp style...Is there a service that can crimp these hose ends or does someone have one they can crimp a fitting on for me?

Hoses generally have female ends and adapter fittings generally have male ends. If you have an o-ring to -12 male adapter, can't you just use a screw together ultra pro hose end?

NAPA shops can usually make hoses, as can air condition repair shops. Unlikely they'll have Earl-specific tools, but they can make crimp hose connections as used on stock hoses.

That being said, if you're using Earl's hoses, I'd go ahead and get the correct tools. That way you'll have them if you ever have to replace one of those hoses down the road.

Have you tried another brand of fitting? There's a couple of places on my car I had to change brands because another was the only one making a fitting the way I wanted it.
