Can't find the correct fitting.
3 Attachment(s)
I'm in a real bind here. Trying to connect the power steering line from the box to the pump and can't find the right fitting. I've been to Home Depot and True value and no luck. I've attached two pictures. The fitting on the left is the one that is in the pump, I removed it to take with me to stores. The fitting in the middle comes off of the steering box and attaches to one end of the line. The fitting I need will connect the fitting on the left(on the pump) to the line on the steering box.
Thanks |

Try NAPA.

Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
Do you have a local business that specializes in hydraulics? That is where I would go. You can also find it at Summit Racing. They have a new warehouse in Arlington TX.

Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
Thanks to all for the replys. I'll check them out. I saw the Summit place about a week or so ago and had planned on going by there just to check it out. Now I have a reason to go there besides just to look around...lol

Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
Just so you know what to look for, you are going from an inverted flare (not sure on size) to a AN fitting (looks like a -6 in the pic). This will help you narrow what you are looking for.

Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
Like chevy mike said. Go to summit and take the pump fitting. Inverted flare to pump fitting AN to hose as was stated. Summit carries all these type of fittings.

Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
Looks like you need an inverted flare to fit the power steering and an AN or JIC fitting for the hose. Can't tell what sizes from the picture. Note that the difference between AN and JIC are the material that the adapter is made of- AN is aluminum and JIC will be steel. Otherwise, they should interchange. I agree with the above statements- NAPA if they carry hydraulic hose and fittings or any other place that makes hydraulic hoses. Summit may carry them as well. Inverted flares are not used so much in AN stuff- that is what brake lines are but that is going to be bigger than common brakes. You will have better luck with steel fittings from hydraulic hose makers.

Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
Man you need a Parker store!
Please note that even though AN & JIC are the same dimensionally most places don't speak AN but do speak JIC. Measure the diameter of your fittings & I can tell you what number they are. |
Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
Thanks again for all the help! First place I went was to the new Summit Racing store. They had the fitting I needed, plus some stuff that I needed but had forgotten about! LOL Man, I could spend 1/2 day in there just wondering around and dreaming..LOL

Re: Can't find the correct fitting.
what year is your pump from and what year is your box. are you trying to go from metric to sae. just take the fitting from the same year as the box( this is the fitting that goes into the back of the pump). should solve the problem
