What are you guys w/ NAs using to step down 3/8 --> 5/16?
I have a banjo w/ a 3/8 hose barb. However, the water fittings on the motor are 5/16.
Every hydraulic place I've called said that's an odd fitting size and don't carry it.
Thanks.

All the hydraulic places I called and asked about using 5/16 hose on a 3/8 barb said it would be a bad idea. Something about stretching the weaving so it becomes very weak.
I'll just step it down w/ some adapters.

Hahaha. ![Giggle](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/gay.gif)
Anyway, I might not be running it w/ 2000psi but I am running it near heat. I'd imagine weakened weaving + heat will likely cause premature hose failure @ the barb. Need to start looking into fire sleeves.
