A couple of hydraulic fitting showed up last night. The remainder should be here today.
These are the 45 degree swivels that mount on the steering ram.

I cut out the beginnings of of the orbital valve mount. I’m waiting on a jeep Cherokee steering shaft. Won’t be here till next week. Damn things are hard to find around here as all the DIY yards are so picked over, there is just nothing left.
So, I hit up Eghey. The Chinese made one $40 shipped.
I’ll melt the plastic out of the center when it shows up next week.
