$135? Heck yes do it this way. I spent $116 for rubber hoses using two ends I got with the hydroboost! It is much easier to thread -6 hose thru the a-arm and frame to the pump and steering unit. You should buy three or four sets of each assemble them and have them ready to ship as a kit. I would have paid $150 easy, and I'm a cheap Son of a biscuit eater. So $175 isn't too much for your average hard working bubba. And then you won't have to convince the parts guy that you know what your doing. I know Vettes didn't come with hydroboost. I'll be your first customer so that I can replumb and rotate the unit to the more aesthetically pleasing lines down attitude.

I updated the list I posted above changing the two 'Metric to AN' couplers to Aeroquip fittings from Russel, as they are just a bit cheaper and you can still order them through Summit.

7/16"-24 to 6an fitting I order directly from Jegs. I bet that it is the same as the summit one. And yes I am currently using this fitting. Works great and no leaks. $12.99
