AN- and SS lines for Steering
Anyone done this yet? not only to clean up leaks and such, but to clean up the look, ifso, post what fitting and sizes and stuff you had to get.

those are some banjo fittings I found with a quick search
That would be the way to go so you wouldnt have to tap anything out
Im not sure what sizes you would need or what size hose etc but hopefully that is helpful
Let me know how you make out, I may be interested in doing something similar

No need to go with banjo fittings, just get the proper adapters (if you measure the fittings you should be able to figure out what they are).
BE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS RATED FOR AT LEAST 1200PSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means hose, hose ends, elbows, adapters, EVERYTHING!
Most AN stuff isn't rated that high. By exceeding this rating you're running the risk of the hoses bursting, spewing ATF all over your engine bay, killing the pump and loosing your power steering. Your connections will also need to be perfect or it'll leak (1200psi will push through the tinyest gap). This is not good. I would NOT reccomend that you attempt this.

Russel, Earls and some of the other companies sell premade lines with steel fittings for this purpose. It's probably best to stick to properly assembled hydraulic hose.
Then again, they also sell the steel fittings required but don't seem to sell hose rated at enough pressure to use them....
