Got my ps hose issue straightened out as well. On classic broncos, there is a writeup on doing the Explorer front dress conversion. The hose parts they recommend aren't quite right. The 45 degree fitting was for another style of hose. Found this out after a lot of head scratching- this is my first time using AN style lines.
The 90 degree fitting is right, so I am just going to use 2 and route the pressure hose along next to the reservoir. Will post some pics once the parts are here.
Correct hose number is RUS-632600
90 degree elbow is RUS-620421, and you need 2.
I am trying the metric pump fitting RUS-648060. Will report back on how it does. I am still trying to get a correct fitting for the pressure side of the steering box- just ordered about 4 more in hopes of finding 1 that will work on this box (it is a 4x4x2 conversion box), not the standard EB steering box. The fittings are different between the two boxes. Will let you know what works.
In these pics, this is the incorrect 45 degree fitting.
