Trying to find the metal fuel fittings....

[flux]

I know Team Triumph sells the metal fuel fittings but I only need the female ends... can anyone provide me a link to that part?  I can only find the entire kit for $75.  

Thanks!

Thanks but Evil Betty used different parts than the ones Team Triumph uses.  I'm specifically looking for the TT ones.   8)

oh. I thought they were the same supplier for some reason.

Might try calling team triumph - see if they can get you just the one side. Worst they will say is "no".  :)

Not sure about the TT kit, but the couplings from quick couplings are manufactured by the Colder Co. the same as the OEM plastic ones. I have an early 05 with the same problem, moving my fuel line snapped the first one and the second fitting snapped as soon as I tried to take it out.

The couplings from Quick Couplings cost me $50.00 including postage, I believe the kit from TT runs about $70.00 or so. Quick Couplings will sell you 1 or what ever you need.

The OEM plastic fittings, the Team Triumph Fittings, and the QuickCouplings fittings are all made by CPC Colder.

TT kit uses Viton o-rings, which will hold up better over time to higher levels of ethanol in fuel.  This is the reason they are more expensive.

QC kit uses BUNA-N o-rings which should be fine for the 10% ethanol levels most gas stations use here in KS/MO.    

QuickCouplings will sell you these fittings as well, but they are made to order.   You have to pony up a $45 tooling fee for any special requirements, including the Viton o-rings.  I think there is also a required quantity to buy as well.  Would be an awesome group buy if we ever had the interest.

If the hoses leaking fuel from the fuel rail when disconnected does not bother you, get the OEM metal fittings from the dealer, then buy the pair of valved female parts from QuickCouplings for $30 shipped.

When I called Team Triumph the would not sell me just the male or female fittings.  Only the kit.  But others have bought just one gender from them in the past.

Okay, thanks guys.  There's a lot of info on this subject to sort through, so this kind of simplifies it.  I thought for some reason TT sold a female only kit so I guess I'm wrong (shhhh! don't tell my wife!).  

I'll go ahead and order the QC females.... I'm on a budget and the bike really didn't leak too much gas with the Triumph OEM metal males.
