      Plumbing Hydrobooster , flaring hard lines.

      I have 69 f-100 and I'm running a hydroboost off a 2006 super duty.
      I have a 2013 coyote so I'm running a KRC power steering pump.
      the pump is on the passenger side so it is about a 7' run to the pump. I plan on running a 3/8" hard line to an aeroquip AQR high pressure power steering hose AN-06. The fittings on the hydro booster are M16-1.5 bump tube, and M18-1.5 bump tube so I plan on using adapters to change them to AN -06. Is the hard line the best way to go? I bent up a practice line that hugs the firewall and down the pass fender. From there I'd run the braided for flex.
      I've never flared 37* on a steel line do I just run a tube nut or do I need a tubing support not sure what they are called also? Would I be better off just running flex all the way?
      From Hydo to power rack is a short run about 2.5 feet and i have a machined fitting to fit the crown vic rack and a -06 an fitting.
      The remote reservoir will be on the rad support and I will run separate return lines from the rack and hydro.
      I tried searching about hard lines just not sure about the tube nuts, Thanks for any help or advice.

      Since its high pressure double flare it to 37deg with tube nut and ferule. I did this in reproducing a sn95 mustang fuel line.

      Thanks MonzaRacer I bent up the hardlines and then at the last minute I decided to go with black braided power steering line. The ferule was what I didn't know if I needed with the steel tube. My buell blast got crazy good mileage .
