I need some help finding some fittings to finish my hydro assist

Ram is SAE 6 and the box is 1/4" NPT

I need 90 degree adapters coming out of both the box and ram.

Was going to use one of these at the ram
JIC 6M x JIC 6M 90 ELBOW

But finding a 1/4" NPT Male to JIC 6M 90 degree to run at the steering box is not working out. Where can I find one?

For the hoses I am planning on running these

I used straight -6 to 1/4 npt and then I used 90 degree -6 ends on my hoses.

See in here

And here are the hose ends I used. They are reusable so I just have to carry an extra piece of hose. Both of my hoses are the same length so I only need one piece.

Damn the prices on those hose ends went way up.
It is nice to have the field serviceable ends just in case you ever need to work on the lines out on the trail.

They are a PITA to get in correctly though. It takes a vise or two wrenches and a little patience.

I will just carry 2 spare $12 surplus center hoses
 
I got the ends for about $4 ea, and the hose is 3/8 Weatherhead from anywhere you can get it. Napa, ect...

I like the 90 deg ends but if I had to buy it all now....I would not pay $11 each for them.
 
These are my local guys give them a call and see what they have.

I know for Ira's setup we had 8' of hose total when we started, and we did have some left over. Not sure how mush though.
Not enough to make another hose.

I am running about 3.5 Ft. 4 ft should be fine it will let you route them up and out of the way. My ram is mounted so the fittings do not move so the only slack that I need is for axle droop.
