custom hydroboost line length, (yes i searched, no luck)

[stevos67k20]

hey i was wondering if a 6ft. powerflex hose will do the trick. its either that or a 10ft hose. has anyone had to do this??? i have to do it because my box and pump are flange style and my hydroboost is o-ring style. i am ordering new lines from Russel pretty soon and all the fittings needed. thanks for your responses.

yeah i know this is a really stupid question but, that crap is really expensive and i want to get it right.

napa or a local hydraulic line hose shop could compress different end on a hose, farm supply place, etc

If I read your post correctly you want to use the Russell lines and build them yourself instead of going to an industrial hose shop for fabbed hoses ?

I would think that a length of six foot will be cutting things close with all the bends and routing out of the way under the hood . I would opt for the ten footer to be safe even though it's a gamble on some high dollar hose.

Good Luck !
