Power steering pump options for LQ bracketry????
 

Guys any help here appreciated.

I have a sandrail with a stroked LS1 and the stock LQ truck accessory brackets. Issue is, the Gear-One R&P power steering lines require an- fittings. The previous owner hob-gobbed and brazed crap together to adapt to the an- hoses and of course it leaks pretty bad. I have searched for a Howe pump and remote reservoir or any aftermarket pump that would have NPT fittings on both pressure and return line, but NOTHING I can find will fit the stock truck accessory brackets.

Has anyone found a power steering pump for the LQ bracketry that has NPT fittings for both pressure and return, with or without a remote reservoir ?

Appreciate any thoughts / ideas or pointers

Here is the mess I'm dealing with

I would keep the original saginaw pump. If the pump itself is leaking, Just buy a reman or a reseal kit.

Get a new pressure regulator nut (the piece that they brazed the -6 on)

16mm to -6 AN adaptor fitting http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-961955ERL/ To adapt the pressure side to AN.

The easiest thing on the return side is to cut the fitting off the hose & use a clamp.

Or use a braze-on -6 JIC...Example http://www.spokanehose.com/product.php?id=3457 Available at any industrial hydraulic supply. Brazing the return side is fine. If you dont know how to braze take it to a welder.
