47-55.1 Danforth Cross Member Install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Be careful with those specs from Borgeson & BTW, DWCSR has it right - the fractional spec, etc. is where it is at.

My first rack (2.5 "sport") with the Borgeson recuced pressure pump, hoses and metric hose adaptors (their spec) leaked at the rack - though possibly due to Borgeson sending me the wrong washers.

When I went with the 3 turn rack, I went with fractional adaptors and white O-rings from an outfit in California (similar to what Speedway sells). Works great.

Bottom line, Borgenson pump & hoses are fine, but don't follow their advice or use their adaptors - everyone but them has gone fractional.
