I emailed Hydratech about buying a line set and was told they will not sell the line set separately. What’s up with that? Hey Norval what do you use for plumbing your hydra-boost system. I may have to bring it to the local rubber and hose shop and see if we can come up with something.

They don't want you going to the wreckers and picking up a unit.They should sell the lines.
Anyway I always take the lines from the donor car and manage to adapt them.
The pressure line from the donor just needed a double flare put on the end using the stock power steering pump nut.
I also use earl fittings and make adaptors.
Sorry I can;t give you a solution but in the 3 units I installed I always seemed to come up with a fitting that worked.

I drew up a diagram and went to an Earl's retailer. Worked great, looked even better!

It just does not make any since for them to be like that. They made a lot of money on this forum selling their product and know they do this. Oh well I am off my soapbox for now.

I am going to bring it to a local hose shop and see what we can come up with.

Thanks Neal
