SS Braided Vacuum Lines

Has anyone used stainless steel braided hoses for vacuum lines? I am going to be replacing all of the lines and was thinking of going the SS route since that is what I am going to use for the fuel lines.

The only part I am unsure about is what to put on the end of the hose. Do I just heat shrink the ends the slip over the connectors? Do they make hose ends for this purpose? I would like to get black ends for the hoses as that is the style that I am going with on the fuel lines.

Thanks for the input,
Chad

the place that sold you the fuel lines should be able to sell you the vacuum line kit as well.

No place has sold me anything. The engine is in the shop right now getting the machine work done. I am trying to put together a summit order and was wondering what other people have used for the hose ends.

There are hose clamps in jegs & summit for that hose that has a cover to make it look like a normal AN fitting.
