18mm-6an
Inverted flare O-ring fittings.
I used Aeroquips but other suppliers have them to.

Not sure about the 45 deg tube at the HB, most use 90 deg bends so they will run straight tward the front. One other thing is indexing the fittings will make them fit alot better. I am just about finished with mine, I'll post some pics as soon as I finish (tommorrow). The fittings are inverted flare O-ring fittings as Black Rat has said.

when you attach one end of the hose to the HB than the 90 on the other end of the hose needs to be facing the P/S pump and not the fire wall. If they are swivel fittings than this will not matter but if they are not than you will have to twist the hose 180 deg. I think that makes sents.

Anyone got any updates to this thread?
Jclgodale - did you get the hoses (or at least a quote of what it should cost?)
Chevyman - you had said that yours should be done in a few days and would post some pics....had any chance to do that?
Anxiously waiting here.....gonna sit and do both the jeep box and hydroboost at the same time. So gonna get new hoses all over.
