Was asked the question: What size are the fittings and the Line between them that replaces the stock line?

It's a -6 AN Line between the two fittings.
PNs are:

FCM2608 = -6AN x 18M x 1.5 http://aeroquip.cc/fcm2609fbm2609-06xm18x15.aspx
FCM2609 = -6AN x 18M x 1.5 http://aeroquip.cc/fcm2608fbm2608-06xm16x15.aspx

Thanks,Matt

Should this be made a sticky for easy access for those doing flip drives?

Need to bump up this thread.

I just installed one of these Flip Drives and the A/C belt was too short. (47.6")
I used this thread for reference in obtaining a 49" belt which is the perfect length as the OP stated.

This thread proved to be helpful.

hate to bring up an old thread but i need to know how long the braided power steering line is. I bought a used kit and i don't have the line, the fittings, or the alternator tensioner. I'm trying to piece it together. Thanks!

I can't go and measure it right now or anything - but best bet would be to give Cartek a ring and they will get you going in the right direction!

Any missing pieces they will have -

I do have the old style Alternator Tensioner if you are interested - I upgraded to the newer style they have

Thanks,Matt

I ordered an upgraded, correct-length PS line from Dallas performance to replace the line that came with my A&Asecondary drive because that one was slightly short and it would have been a challenge to make it work. The DP line is a bit longer and fits nicely. I called them and ordered it over the phone.

dallas performance is an awesome shop and great guys to deal with... they were able to help me a few times with some small parts and fab work to get my car where it is now and if you ever have an opportunity to see the type of cars they are working on but yet are still willing to stop and help out with small stuff then it makes you realize what kind of people they are... to my knowledge they aren't working on vettes anymore but should still be able to get you the part(s) you need
