Default Borgenson hoses

Installing an original style power steering pump instead of the Borg pump .that came with the new steering kit..
Is it possible to use the original style pressure and return hoses and not the Borgenson hoses?
thanks...

I don't think you would have an issue, but why use old hoses? Use the new and be comfortable knowing you won't have a blow out. Dennis

IIRC The original hoses have fittings totally different than the Borg ones on the pump steering box.

I used my original pump and got the steering box from Borgeson. It came with new hoses.
