Right or Wrong? Making PTFE AN Lines for power steering.
I cut the line, fit the jam, pushed the female head over it, lubed and slid the adapter on and tightened.
From the tapered design it would appear to pull or push the bung and line/braid into the adapter tighter. Or am I wrong and has it pulled away from the jam or bung piece?
I found my own answer. The factory cut lines from Hydratech are way long for where the pump is so I took the line apart to cut shorter and as I took the fitting apart (it appears to be reusable, I'd say) it appears perfect internally and the PTFE line was fully to the end of the bung as it should be.
On my 95 Camaro, a guy sold me a PSC deflowed pump (PS pump failure is common on those when racing) and a high pressure AN line custom made/crimped by a shop. For the low pressure return, I ran simple 3/8" rubber hose with hose clamps.
AFAIK, power steering high pressure lines are fairly high pressures. Just something to check. I'd hate to see you have a failure.
