Sounds like something being tossed about in a Harry Potter movie :o)

    Bill,

    I don’t recall dimensions off the top of my head. I do know that I
    had to order twice to get some that would fit. I bought a bag of
    them… how many do you need?

    Mark,

    What are the O-ring sizes on the Wiggins fittings. Somehow I lost
    that information.

        I would be more concerned with blowing a radiator hose, but
        I’m using aluminum tubing with Wiggins type couplings, so I
        don’t think I’ll be blowing them apart anytime soon. I guess
        the weakest link in my system is the heater hoses. While
        they’re top of the line Gates hose, I plan on changing to
        silicone heater hose before first flight.

        (Happy to hear you got home safely)
