      Hydroboost fittings thread sizes?

      EDIT: I found the answer to my question, which is to order this kit for my hydroboost to go -6 AN: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273663381627

      But can anyone refer me to a vendor that makes custom power steering hoses? Specifically, using "Earl's Performance Power Steering Hose" with -6AN ends? I have to have black lines for my project. It already bugs the hell out of me I can't find the fittings in anything other than zinc-coated steel, I guess I'll have to get them cera-coated...

      Thanks!

      Trust me you can make the earls power steering lines at your house. You just need wrenches. The fittings are reverse thread so it helps keep the house tight in the fighting. It’s all I will ever use on my power steering system.

      Hmmm, sounds good. I'll go ahead and buy the ends and give it a go.

      Know it's an old post but checking to see if you've been happy with your setup? I'm in the market for a hydroboost hose kit and am checking posts. I've been running factory tahoe hoses but want to clean up engine bay now, have never enjoyed the Medusa's azz look .Name:  20230629_104440.jpg

      I made all of my own hoses and I'm very happy in the end. I installed the unit upside down so the fittings are facing downwards and of course, I made everything to exact lengths with just a bit of extra for movement and to avoid kinks.

      In the end, this is my full steering setup:

      Ididit Pro-Lite 1" 48 spline steering column
      Flaming River billet steering u-joint
      TurnOne SB2 Saginaw 600 series 10:1 steering box w/215 T-bar
      Lee Power Steering Saginaw "P" series pump (hydroboost setup: 1500PSI & 3.0GPM) kit w/external reservoir
      Lee 10-micron Power Steering filter
      Derale cooler w/fan (200F switch)
      All Earls -6AN Power Steering fittings and hoses for the high-pressure lines
