Default Hydro Boost with Borgeson

Has anyone on here switch out to a hydro boost and Borgeson steering? If so, how did you route your hoses? The hydro boost high pressure out and the Borgeson HP in make a hell of an angle with only about 4 inches between them. How did you make that connection?

As noted, you need to make your own hoses to make it work. I did this setup on my '79 about a year ago. I remember calling Borgeson on this to make sure I was connecting it right.

If you do an advanced search here on the forum you will find a wealth of information on this. I didn't take any pictures and haven't driven my vette since doing this. Had some health issues and just recently started working on the car again.

If you can't find any other info on this I will keep an eye on this thread and take some pics of my setup for you.
