I'm doing a wire tuck on my Cobra. Not a fan of the stock hydroboost, look wise. Is there an aftermarket fitting, and line kit to replace the stock with?
hydroboost Lines
- Thread starter laddanator
- Start date
Not a kit, but you can move it all over to AN fittings.
Thanks! Why no cooler? Not needed?
Because the cooler has no threaded fittings...
I'm actually doing this to mine. I'll post up pics when it's done
Did this a few months back and I followed the diagram above except I ordered the maximum Motorsports rack fittings and I welded a -6 fitting on the hydroboost nipple to make everything braided hose.the high pressure ptfe hoses can be a pain because they don't swivel but you just have to adjust the ends a little.
That looks awesome.
I ended up stripping and polishing the stock lines on mine. I might have to look into this a little more.

What brand of lines did you use?
russell PTFE for high pressure and russell normal stainless braided for all low pressure.
Just seeing the photos, thanks! How hard are the motor mount bolts to get now with the AN fittings on the rack end?

Nice! Also, you said you used MM 6an fittings. The one rack fitting to T calls for a 8an. I assume since you used the 6an, you also used a 6an T for the low pressure side?

This winter while doing a bunch of work in front of the car I will be doing -6 line for the PS. Going with Earls black anodize fitting with black hose.
Thanks 04whitesvtlight for the pictures! Did you mount the PS reservoir inside the fender?

Yeah -6 is more that enough. No problem, yeah you can see the reservoir in my first pick top left.
I went a different route for more clearance that actually turned out a little cheaper. Cut/flare the lines where it's hard tubing for a 3/8 JIC (8AN) end. You can then run 3/8" hard line to splice between them, tucking it along the frame rail. It's cheaper, more robust, and provides more clearance. The downside is it's more time consuming as you tweak all the bends to line up just right. And if you're like me you throw out 10ft of line because something didn't come out as desired.
