Default Hydraboost Adapter for Drain

Here's a little something I made today. Its a 5/16-24 to -6 adapter fitting for the drain line on the hydraboost brake booster.



I could also make this to go from 5/16-24 to -4 if anyone is interested, email me and we'll see what we can work out.

you could run a -6 AN line back to the pump (especially handy if you have a sweet or KRC pump since they have an connections), sure beats an ugly rubber hose and hose clamp :)

My Hydroboost unit came with a fitting for an AN fitting.

where did you get yours? Does it have a fitting for the drain?? The thread in the HB is 5/16-24, that's a bolt thread not a pipe thread so no commercially abailable adapters (from aeroquip, earls and so on)

I bought the stainless steel lines from Hydratech when I purchased their Hydroboost unit. It came with all of the parts I needed to install the unit.
