Default Slick Little Power Steering Hose Adapter

Has anyone tried one of these? Looks like a nice way to avoid having a hose made when putting late model power steering box into older cars.

Looks like a good idea, but it would be nice if you could go the other way with it, old inverted flare box to new style o-ring fittings.

For that all you have to do is cut off the Saginaw flare (o-ring style), slip off the Saginaw flare nut and then install a double flare nut and double flare the line. Double flare tools are cheap.

I used those fittings when I put a Grand Cherokee box in my 68 Bonneville. They worked fine. Got mine from Lee Manufacturing, but they were the same concept.

AHHHH I needed those for my GM fuel filter. It uses the 16mm o-ring fittings and I wanted to use flared fuel lines! I ended up with AN stainless fuel lines and the an 16mm adapter. That would have save me a buch of money. I couldn't find those adapters anywhere.
