    Ditched the accordion ebrake boot and the shift boot for some suede bits.  fixed the ebrake wiring for the dash light as well  907BE5AB-AEDB-4774-B8B0-884667841933.jpeg

    also removed the PS. It has been leaking like crazy lately. Ditching OEM stuff and going with -an stuff and braided lines which should show up in a few days3E04B569-68FB-4E63-A6A4-95956F993481.jpeg

    Changed the oil too.

                    ChaseBays power steering stuff showed up today which was semi exciting.

                    that’s threaded all the way in, I’ll just need 12 crush washers 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

                    hoping I hear back from them soon so I can get the right stuff

                      Weird, I have the same chase bays pressure line and likely the same power steering pump. Nothing stuck in the pump threads?

                            I was kind of expecting an issue tbh, in the meantime I’m going to cut this one down so I can at least go drive the car around.

                              You are better off using spacers. That bevel helps seal it

                                It’s not really beveled in a way that works with an -an fitting, I’m not even sure the bevel is there to aid with sealing because stock was sealed with crush washers & the banjo bolts that thread into that dont have a bevel on them to my knowledge either

                                  No, it seals with a crush washer.

                                    They asked for pics, said they have a fitting with a rubber oring that rests against the flange thing  in my photos above (Flange in the threaded portion) 

                                    cant wait for that to spring a high psi leak

                                      Also, is that an aluminum fitting on the high pressure line? I wouldn't trust if so, even if it did fit. I've seen aluminum fittings fail in that application. Steel all the way for high-pressure hydraulic lines.

                                        It sure is. We’ll see how long the chasebays stuff lasts I guess

                                          theyve been selling it for years. if there were some great amount of failures, shoudnt we have heard about it by now? i think they use some aluminum fittings for the brake stuff, even. cant muck about with brakes with inferior stuffs and not have a lawsuit.
