Does anyone know where I can get this fitting to connect my power steering hoses together. This is the setup on my port motor that is not using the power steering. It's on a 99 454 mag. (inverted flare with an o-ring)

i would think Napa would have it. to be honest i don't even understand what its for. i know its to make a loop in the system but if you dont run a belt on the steering why even have the hoses and cooler?

The port motor does run a belt. I'm not sure why they did it that way. Maybe make it easier to switch pumps if the Stbd pump fails? I would like the fitting because I'm pulling the stbd motor and it would be nice to tie up the power steering hoses this way. Does anyone know the size of the fittings and the threads?

Just put a rubber cap on both ends and zip tie them

not sure I understand if you are asking about what they call cushion clamps - as it looks like in the one pic you are pointing at it aka cushion clamp -- is this correct ???

If so -- you want the SS versions and they are sized specific. I have a zillion of them for rigging.

If this is not what you are asking about ---- sorry I misunderstood

I think he is looking for the shipping coupler for the lines.

Fbronco, are they flare or O ring fittings? I think we have a few up in the "attic"
