Ends rotate up to 1 full turn?

Ends rotate up to 1 full turn? On Mike's braided stainless hoses does he mean the hoses will twist up to 1 full turn? I see no rotation.

if i recall right,the pivot point is between the crimp and the hex nut...not the end and the hex nut.

I use them and there is a fitting between the banjo and the hose that when loose will rotate 360 degrees. Once positioned tighten it.

After I posted that I discovered how it works. It's one of those rare cases that takes a f*** it I don't care if this breaks it hand on the wrench. The nut turns the direction as if the banjo fitting screwed down into it.

They are pretty tight. Had quite a time when I put the new lines on my 75.
They do lay nice when you get them rotated.

LOL. I also had a hard time too, when I put them on my '81 this morning.

This particular fitting would not stop seeping, and guess what? The banjos are aluminum - the hose fitting nut never felt tight before it broke the banjo stem. Anybody know of stainless replacements?

Most of the after market catalogs list them.

Might find them at a parts store.
