I'm looking for a reasonably priced alternative to stainless hoses for an Astro Van hydroboost conversion on my 72 Cutlass. I'm going to use a Grand National steering box for quicker ratio, so I was wondering if I could just use the high pressure lines from a Turbo Regal since hydroboost and the steering box are both metric? I could use the funds saved towards some other aspect of my project. Any thoughts?

 

I guess I forgot to consider that my pump is still SAE...Dammit

 

That's okay, use a Lee Steering adapter slug.

Thanks Eric, I was thinking I would have to get it from there. I would love one of their boxes too, but its not in the budget. I can get a reman Grand National steering box and the rubber hoses for around the same price as stainless set with fittings. I'll have to give Tom Lee a call. Hoping to make this functional first and I can add the bling of stainless lines later if I want.

 

Called Lee, the coupler I need is on back order. I need to find the adapter for the steering pump to high pressure hose connection locally. I can use the coupler from a mid 80's truck.
Thanks again.
