Need some brake fitting help
Need some brake fitting help
I'm converting my 1979 Bronco from vacuum brakes to hydroboost brakes with an E450 hydrobooster. I am also currently using a GM power steering pump.
I need some help figuring out how to get the right fittings to hook everything up
Here is a diagram

Now here is the hose that I am going to have to switch each end to their own line to work. One end (the big one) originally went into the GM pump. It uses an o-ring. And the smaller end went to the steering gear.
Im going to have to have a hose with the big end o-ring to connect to the GM pump and then the other end goes to the hydrobooster.
The smaller end fitting on the original hose will have to go to the steering gear while the other end fits into the hydrobooster. Here are the fittings


here are the hydrobooster fittings

Anyone have an idea what I can do? What size are these fittings?

So i am assuming I will need to do this
Power steering pump->18mm male swivel o-ring to 6 an male-> 6an female to 90 degree 6 an female hose-> 6 an female hose to 6 an female-> 6an male to 16mmx1.5 male swivel oring-> hydroboost
Then
Steering gear->5/16 inverted flare to 6 an male-> 6 an female to 90 degree 6 an female hose-> 6an female hose to 6 an female-> 6an male to 16x1.5 male swivel oring-> hydroboost
Sound right?
