Got my Hydrabooster
Start installation tomorrow. Thanks to all the previous thread posters. Where did everyone source their hoses? I guess any hydraulic store would have the necessary hose & fittings. What was the length of your lines? I assume rubber is cheaper than stainless, as these hoses get replaced next year. While the engine is out I'm going to the jeep box & stainless braid.

I haven't done this but i'm interested in doing it also. I work in construction and buy alot of hoses. I always have trouble buying hoses blind. I was thinking I would mount all the hardware and trailer the whole car to the shop. I know it sounds like a pita but so is going back for a hose that is a too short plus it's expensive. Of course if you are replacing them later you can add a little length to be sure. Be careful of the fittings, "local" hose shops make alot of mistakes when you just give them sizes. Parts get put in the wrong bin and it can be frustrating. If you can't install and take the whole car, at least take the hydrobooster with you to check the threads, should be the same as the ps pump fittings but check first..
