PS Rack fitting?
Looking for a source of an adapter fitting to change from the factory flare that takes a "O" ring to a normal taper flare on the pressure line input to the GM rack.These apparently exist but not in this part of the world.
I am cleaning up my RHD conversion done by others and want to replace the large hose with a 3/8 steel line as all my plumbing has to run to the otherside of the engine under the balancer and clearance is a problem.
No one in these parts has the equipment to make the std flare so an adapter was suggested.The std fitting is a larger version (20mm) of the ones used on the fuel lines (16mm)where they join the rail.
Any one work in a power steering shop?

Thanks will check it out.
Have a Russell catalogue but could not find anything that would get me from the GM PS fitting to a regular flare or AN fitting.Problem is down here shops only carry more popular items mainly fuel type fittings.It's a case of it"s in the catalogue but we don't have it.
