Hydroboost conversion

I finally got all my parts in to get the job done. I will be running an inline Magnefine filter, as well as a Derale transmission cooler. I plan to take the return line from the hydroboost, (the one that connects to factory sd barb on reservoir) and t that into steering gear to pump return. Now for the filter and cooler, could I just put them in this line? Obviously I need to avoid being on the high pressure side, and want to reduce the amount of cuts that I have to make in hoses. I figure I can go from hydroboost to the cooler, and then the filter, and then finally head into the t that connects to the 1st return.

Is this the best way to do it?

Thanks bud. Will hopefully get spooled up on this mod here pretty soon. Tired of the sucky braking with the rear disc. I'll do a full writeup though.
I've got a second mc here, it has no provisions for speed control though. You are welcome too it. Paid a good bit for it even used, and just hate to have it set around. Would much rather someone gets some use from it.

Make sure you do the pedal mod or get the correct one.

If you plan on adding a cooler, I would by pass the oem one and add a nice one in its place. Filter is a good idea. I would get a sd reservoir and use the return nipple on top.
