Message	I sent in a request to SUMMIT asking them to make the 5/16" version of that thing. Doubt it will ever happen. Here are some tips -- grind down the barb to about 1/2 it's current thickness and then round the front edge. Use some WD-40 and you should them be able to crank it on. It does suck, though. Would be nice if someone would make a custom product for this app. -Dave :Just got the Summit FPG. How did you get the 3/8'' fitting into the 5/16'' hose? I can't get the damn thing go to in! Anybody know where I can get a 5/16'' fitting? VISIT thumper300zx.com for PICS and TECH PAGES
