Thanks for the responses. As I mentioned I just do not like the "T" Fitting, I know that it should work just fine, but I am just a bit concerned as another here was about flow. Maybe it is ok, but I also am going after all PTFE nylon covered hoses (- 6an). I just like the clean and organized look. Although the bottom return line from the reservoir is a -10 an and because it is going onto the hard barbed line on the pump I will stay with rubber hose for clamping ability.
I got the reservoir, had the 2nd -6an fitting welded on, then for the first time I tried my hand at powder coating and damn, I really like that stuff! Easy to do with very little mess and it only takes an hour, from sand blast to completion.
Anyways, I am currently running -6an PTFE lines now from the power steering pump to the power steering box, so I will re-use those fittings and run new lines for the hydro boost and the new Reservoir. Excited to have good brakes.
