BASICS: How to tap your steering box for hydro assist (3 Viewers)

[Squeegee]

Did you finish by using a bottoming tap or grind the end of a standard tap to cut the threads deep enough without hitting the bottom of the vein?

@Broski it looks like your second line is tapped through the top of the box as well. I think this is my plan.

I’m not that fancy, I jut drilled as deep as I was comfortable and tapped it. It was a “maybe we’ll have an issue, maybe we won’t” kind of project. So far, we haven’t had an issue

Yes
I have done two hydro installs. Both boxes were drilled and taped in the same places
One by Redhead and one by west Texas off road.
Fully documented in my build thread.

Feel free to PM me with questions
I won’t be of much help with the drill and tap other then location.
