Vintage Air Kit

I am installing a Vintage Air system but want to use the better looking square polished aluminum bulkhead instead of the round black one that comes with the kit. It looks like the hoses that came with the system will not mate up with the new bulkhead. They sell a kit with all the fittings and SS tubing. I guess I will have to buy the kit and find someone who has a tubing bender that will bend SS tubing. Anyone who have any advice from past experience? With the amount of money I had to pay for this system they should have sent me the better bulkhead as well as the tubing kit.

Re: Vintage Air Kit

Thanks Justin. I bought the Vintage Air square bulkhead from a friend some time ago. I went to the Gotta Show website. They have some nice stuff. I looked all over here locally but had zero luck finding anyone who uses SS fittings and has access to teflon SS Braided hoses. So, if I order this kit from you what do I need to do to proceed. My guess is that I need to decide what fitting angles I need. According to the information on the Gotta Show website I need to order the kit, mock up where the lines will go, mark them, and send them back to be crimped. My question is if your price is the same as theirs I would rather buy it from you.
