Default Need power steering & A/C hoses made-up in Seattle

Hi Guys:

We're on the last leg of swapping an LS1 into a BMW E30. See

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2DbI3m6vs4Q

for our engine stuffing last weekend. We need to get power-steering hoses made-up from GM PS pump to HydroBoost (from '97 Mustang GT), from hydroboost to steering rack, back to PS resivoir. We have AN6 fittings on the HydroBoost and rack. We'll put an AN adapter in the pressure side of the PS pump. Also, we will be needing to get A/C hoses made-up. We'd like to use beadlock fittings for all of the hoses -- is there a local supplier of hose and fittings in the Seattle area??

Williams Oil Filter Service or anyone that makes industrial hoses.

Try Docs Blocks for the beadlock fittings, adapters, orings, pressure sensor ports....Then you can have NAPA do the crimping.

Most NAPA stores can make custom AC and hydraulic hoses. Seattle should have a NAPA, no?

For the power steering, If you already have the AN fitting for both ends.. you can try making your own lines using Russell AN fittings and there Teflon lined hose. I used it for my conversion. That way you can custom fit it yourself. If you need the adapter fittings Russell and other have them.
