    Was cleaning out the garage and threw out my old testarossa fuel filters in the middle of my year long do it when I can Ferrari major...

    Well, the fittings were attached... Seems all the ferraris from the 80s use the same fittings...

    Looks like these things are $50 a piece for 2, and the other 2 aren't available?

    Before I start looking for unicorns, and alternatives to these... Can't believe this would be Ferrari only part...

    Thanks...

    those fittings you get nearly in all hydraulic shops ( here in germany ) or you may go to a marine shop or truck shop, those threads are normal metric size, nothing special. also mercedes and BMW have the same adapter. but no one from those part departements knows any more the size and without connection those spare parts guys normaly not know anything without typing the VIN into the computer

    Just a suggestion:
    I needed a Ferrari specific hose part and found it at GT Car Parts.

    You can try these guys to - Parker Hannifan. A US company that deals with German hoses and fittings. They had an incredible assortment that saved a BMW project. I have no idea if they'll have what you need, but just something to check.

    Good luck.
