You goin to get them made up before you get under there?
I just bought 15' of PushLock hose and used it very sparingly since it was $3.19 a foot. I used the adapter to -6 from the tranny and used 2 -6 45* aeroquip fittings and ran my hose to the Radiator using another adapter there and used a Straight -6 fittin there.. the 45* and 90* fitting are expensive compared to the straights.

 

 

I have a friend who works with hydraulics... he's got miles of this **** laying around... so he fabbed me up a set.

 

BUMP
could someone fimilar with hydralics please shed some light on this.
Looking for an industrail alternative to SS braided lines.
thx

 

silver-mod how did the hydraulic hoses hold up to the tranny fluids? i ask cause i heard long ago that hydraulic hose as good as it is, the inter layer (rubber inside) will be eaten out by certain types of tranny fluids, just currius if this was true or not

 

It's holding up fine. I helped him install them and man were they nice!! I tried to get his hook-up to hook me up but he sat on his *** and by the time he really tried the guy was gone

Anyway I posted some pics of them a while back... they are slick! Something I think a sponsor should sell. His trans temps dropped significantly from the volume of fluid flow alone with the same trans cooler.

 

While this thread is here, 90's into the 60e tranny arnt too great. IMO the wider 120* are better. I used the 90 but it makes the dipstick a major PITA in my opinion. ANother thing is I put disconnects in mine, around a foot from the tranny, kinda were it mates up to the motor and it makes disconnecting them a lot easier.

 

you should know, you becoming the tranny removal expert...

 

lmao, yeah those extensions help. A lot easier to tighten them down low man. Spend a little more on the blue fittings but works out.

 

120* that would be tighter than a 90*. I could see using a 60*.
