Cheapest quality hoses lines for Hydroboost
My Diy Hyrdoboost is pretty close to install I just need to source my hoses and fittings. I feel like I could save some money by utilizing some standard hydraulic hoses and and fittings, rather than SS earls or aeroquip.
What would be the best approch as to save money but not run into any problems with flow, back pressure, safety
3/8 high pressure lines, and 1/2 returns up till the "T" and 3/4 inch after that.
Will 2000psi lines be adaquate?Any other specs would be helpfull1967 Firebird 400 4 speed

Find a place that makes up hydraulic lines. You could prob get the correct fitting for the power steering box, but not sure about the others. You woull have to use -6AN fitting for the rest. The only problem with having them made up with the standard black likes is that you have to have the fittings installed at the correct angle before they crimp. Otherwise it's very hard to bend the hose in the possition you want. I would have then cut you 2 pieces with the correct end on one side then bring them home and figure out the length and angle of the fitting. Hope this helps.
Run all the returns with 3/8 also.
