Black power steering hoses

[nacnac]

All I seem to find are blue or stainless power steering hoses. Somebody has to make them in black (braided). Are there any general rules to follow when plumbing p/s hoses? Like no 180's or whatever. Thanks

I believe XRP has it in black

X2 XRP has the hose in black as that is what I am using and fittings in all angles as well

I went to my local industrial plumbing store and picked up some bulk hose and field assemble fittings. Make sure the hose you get is rated for petroleum products past 2200 psi working pressure. In total, enough line and fittings to complete my hydroboost setup was under $100. The hose has a really cool black braided finish and matches the rest of my black braided AN lines. Only downside is the fittings are nickle coated....they kinda stick out.

I used SAE 100-R5 hose. You can find the specs on this page, about half way down.
