   SNAFU.... kinked the braided SS hose [url=https://flic.kr/p/F1Utjd]WIN_20160319_120633[/Luckily hydrotech supplies just enough extra hose and ferrules for a second attempt, I will be more careful this time

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks for the info. I would have thought that, that application would have originally came with an integral reservoir, not a remote reservoir.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Most people don't realize how tedious all the plumbing and wiring work is. Keep it up.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks AJ for following along, you're rite about tedious. Set back with the kink kinda deflated my balloon.
Upstate NY right now, grandkids and an old wooden boat are taking up my time at the moment. My son has me working on the wiring harness, like I don't have enough of my own... Didn't post up any picks of my fish this year

Re: PO has me PO'd
Nice work Jaro! too bad about kinking the stainless braided line. Those aren't cheap either. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of install on the Hyrotech boost setup

Re: PO has me PO'd
Installed the last of the high pressure hoses, swivel makes it much easier as you don't have to worry about the orientation of the fitting when assembled. I highly recommend using them on any hose application. Also, I use grease on the threads of the fitting when I swage it up

Re: PO has me PO'd
Dropped the radiator off at the welders shop, had to enlarge the outlet to 1 3/4", since that was the inlet size of my electric water pump. He also put a bead on the tube with his roller. Now, I can start working on the cooling system again
One more line to hook up on the hydro boost -10 return line, parts s/b here Monday  [url=https://flic.kr/p/FASaQ8]WIN_20160423_110154 [url=https://flic.kr/p/FASaQi]

Re: PO has me PO'd
Finished up the last of the return hoses -10, after you install the crimping nut/collar in soft jaws in your vise, make sure your wrench doesn't extend below the nut you are tightening, it will gall the collar if you are not careful. But, you can touch up with a magic marker
If I didn't mention before, lubricate the threads, I would hate to gall the threads halfway up the crimp This Russell pro classic II hose is much easier to use then braided stainless, b/c you can rotate fittings to get alignment after crimping is done  [url=https://flic.kr/p/GuSF7S] [url=https://flic.kr/p/GuSN5E]Ok, off to the next mod. Probably mounting computers in glovebox

Re: PO has me PO'd
Had some time to source out some radiator hoses today, shop worker allowed me to check out his inventory. First pick was exactly right for my purpose, like was made for a 72 jimmy w/ an aluminum rad w/ a 1 3/4" outlet. Cut off about 5 inches from the 90 degree side and added a mandrel bent 45degree aluminum tubing, have to take the tubing back to my welder to have a bead put on it
