Mustang h-boost & 4x4x2 gear fitting sizes, cooler placement

[Gunnibronco]

I'll start searching, but I figured someone here might know.

I need the easiest way to make up lines from a Saginaw p/s pump, to a Mustang GT h-boost unit, & 4x4x2 box (also which port is pressure side & which is return side). Need fitting sizes & suggested methods, kits, etc. I don't know if I can have this stuff made here locally.

Also where does a p/s cooler fit in the mix? Diagram?

Thanks.

Follow up question, I've never worked with -an hose. Can Russell hose be used with Aeroquip fittings? Or are things proprietary?

Keep the hose and fittings from the same manufacturer, there are differences. I highly recommend Aeroquip Teflon -6 hose. It has a much higher pressure rating than regular -6 hose. You will need steel fittings for this hose. It is actually pretty easy to work with and it will last forever, even in a 1500 psi power steering system.

Thanks for the info.

Best way to cut the stainless braided hose? Sharp metal chisel?

Here is a pretty good list of stuff needed for the Mustang and maybe the Super Duty h-boost. Specifically, the special adapters Hydratech (PN HBS9106) sells.

Sharp chisel works and so does cutoff wheel.

For hose and fittings check out http://www.anfittingsdirect.com Im running their ptfe stainless lines and fittings in my can and have yet to have an issue. Also a lot cheaper price wise. Im getting ready to place my order for some -6 and fittings for my HB and fuel system.

Also a local Colorado company.

I have them bookmarked, but forgot about them. I like the black hose, and they have a better selection of elbow fittings.

Any advice regarding the special vice insert that holds the fittings? Will hard plastic or wood work to do a few?

I used wood when I did mine

x2. I used a chunk of 2x4. Worked great.

if you go ptfe you dont need a vice to assemble them. They use a compression style fitting.

So I have the 2 steering boxes disassembled. What should I do while its open? I have the seal kit.

4x4 sector shaft is good, no scoring.

Fluid from the 4x2 box was grungy.
