Here is what I was doing wrong. The washers were in the wrong place. I put the slotted washer fartherist from the key and it worked great. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00382.jpg I didn't have to take much off for the passenger door handle to fit the hole. The drivers side fell right in. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00379.jpg I cut the ring off of the hard line comeing from the pump. I stuff a small piece of paper towel in the tube to keep filings out and used a cutoff wheel on a die grinder. Then cleaned up the edges then pulled to paper out. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00386.jpg Installed the compression fitting. I wish I could bend the line to make it paralell with the frame. I had a spring bender and tried it a little, but was scared I was going to twist the tube off of the pump. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00387.jpg This is my first attempt at making a steel braided hose connection. I've read about it being done and that's as much experience that I have. I wrapped the end of the hose with tape and cut it with my cutoff wheel. The braid unraveled and looked nasty. I had to slide the B nut over the other end of the hose to get it on. Note to self slide next fitting on prior to cutting. I finally got it together. The other end is not done yet. I need to see which port on the steering gear is the return. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00388.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Nice work Alan, for a first time I'd say it's a very nice connection, I would have never know lol.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Good idea with the paper towell Allan. I'll have to remember it. I like the looks of the lines, lots better then stock.;) On the dead batt. lock thing. could'nt you just get a jump. If your batt. is dead your going to have to anyway.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Looks good ALAN!!!
those braided lines are going to be super clean:metal: glad you got her figured out. I just swapped the steering gear on my '80 this weekend. on it, the low pressure fitting was smaller than the high pressure side. |

:waah: If that picture of 'Cat Fish Man' bothered you that much - I won't bring out my really crazy pictures then. :lol: Great looking hoses and extreme close-up shots of the door handle work (which I desperately need to do too). One note on the pictures though - Los Alamos called and they want their scanning electron microscope back. Mac. :lol: |

Re: My 1965 build thread
Screw the choke cable idea. Use a coat hanger like the old days. You make a finger loop to pull it And it's FREE :lol:
