has anyone made new hpop oil lines? I have a hydraulic hose fitting press 5k psi hydraulic line, and assortment of JIC fittings. Is this something I can do myself to save some money? What size fittings would I need? Thanks

 

You can get updated OEM ones from RiffRaff or you can get custom made ones from CNC. Or, you can set out and make some yourself local to you.

 

Hey sous you wouldn't happen to know what I would need fitting wise would you? I'd like to have everything made up and ready to go when I rebuild the hpop, I've been digging and haven't really found any specs on updated oil lines

 

Been there, done that. Do yourself a favor and just get the ones from Ford, or someone who sells the Ford part. The standard hydraulic lines don't hold up over time, ask me how I know... Just my .02

 

OK, so now for "the rest of the story"? have to wonder what happened.

 

x2.

I've never had a problem with the lines. It's been the fittings that have given me issues over time. The "new design" definitely look better compared to the older ones when I put them on last year. I was replacing a bunch of HPO stuff so replaced the lines as a preventive measure since I was already deep into my valley (and wallet).

 

Just buy them from Ford. New ones are about $100 each. You can get them online from someplace like Tousley Ford ( now known as Auto Nation White Bear Lake), or if you're lucky, you can get your local dealer to match those prices. I have 2 dealers near me ( actually many more, but 2 that are real close). One will not match online prices. One usually will with some mild arguing. By the way, those online prices are usually cost + 10%, which seems to be the most common "shop" price/'discount that they will give to commercial customers.

As far as the hoses themselves, they are actually made by Aeroquip. I don't think you are going to beat their quality. I am pretty sure the quick connect fittings are also a proprietary Aeroquip design.

 

When I had mine replaced, I just got 'em from Clay.

I know, that doesn't help with your question. Sorry, I don't know what fittings, I just figure if you change your mind, you'll have options.

here you go. same hose less the leaky special fitting ford uses and less money. win win..

 

You can get FOMOCO lines from Riffraff for $89. Ea. I did years ago and haven't had an issue. I did an hpop reseal with new non servicable plug, both lines, all new fittings, and re sealed the fuel bowl all at once. I don't like leaks lol.

 

I made mine from stainless hardline. a permanent solution.
