I'm trying to not go remote, but getting a pressure fitting to fit with the flow control fitting is wrecking me. Im looking at the billet specialties one
That would allow me to put a 90 degree fitting and rout the hose behind the reservoir...I think. The o.e. reservoir has part of the tank wrapping behind the fitting, but this appears to be open, but there are no good angles. Anyone have one that can get a better "straight on" shot?
Here is the o.e. for reference


Technical difficulties...will upload pics in a bit

See the wrap around on the o.e. around the back of the vertical an-6 fitting, and it looks void in the billet specialties?

Thanks

Unfortunately you can't just run a fitting straight back on the stock reservoir. I opted to use a 45* fitting although in the future I may make a custom hard pipe to flexible hose. I am using Aeroquip fittings and their high pressure stuff they don't make AN to 90* adapters for whatever reason. None of the automotive suppliers that make power steering hose carried an extended 90* fitting. It looks like Lee is using a standard hydraulic hose and you may find some extended reach 90* or other shapes that could work. I just wanted something that looked a little nicer than plain hydraulic hose and took KRC's recommendation for using Aeroquip fittings.
