Default Hydroboost help.

Not too long ago, I found installation instructions, along with the parts required to put my own Hydroboost system together. I believe that it also included all the lines and fittings that you would need. Now that I've decided that I want to do this conversion, I can't seem to come up with that article, in this forum, no matter how I search the forum. Anyone out there have a lead to that particular paper?
Thanks in advance for any info.

I've just gone through 3 weeks of trying to get some answers on the hydratech. My problem that I just found out was with the pump. Pump should be between 2 and no more than 3.5 gpm around 900 to 1200 psi. Good luck directions I thought were a little confusing!

the toughest thing is hooking up to the power steering control valve. the 2nd link Robrace posted is what i did for the control vlave. i scrounged up some fittings i had lying around and bought a few more . it's probably not the best way but it's been working great

I noticed the rebound as well while testing the brakes after bleeding. I think that is what freaked me out the most.

I appreciate everyones feedback. Makes me feel better about droppping the rear of the kwiklift and getting her our on the road again.
