Finished mine earlier. I passed the small hose strength test with no worries. Did have a little trouble figuring out the Toyota pipe bracket origami but was grateful for the photo @NLXTACY posted earlier in the thread.

He said he was waiting on the anodizer. Using this in conjunction with my hydroboost conversion.
 
No problem sir, on something that will be exposed to the elements, would prefer to have it right than to have it now. I appreciate your attention to detail.
 
Hoping this will be available soon... steering pump, low pressure, HP lines ect. are all done and waiting on this..

I got mine last week, so hopefully you'll get one soon too!
 
Got mine on Monday :bounce:, Thank you Joey! Just in time too, started tearing out goodies under the hood for the dual battery system and hydroboost system.
 
THIS, is the HP replacement hose. Comes with brass washers and correct bracket at the U in the hoses.

this is what I purchased, equal to OEM, top quality part for sure, comes with everything you need and fits perfect with no issues ;)
 
Well I just got the coolers back from anodize BUT there is a problem that I need to work out. Derale changed the design of the mounting feet (it’s actually kinda good because it’s positionable) but also increased the port’s pipe thread from 1/4NPT to 3/8NPT which means all the fittings I have are now wrong. 😔

So these won’t be going out just yet until I get replacement fittings in to correct for the change in design. Sorry folks, I wasn’t given a heads up about it. But I’m on it.

Hello everyone I’m all about making my cruiser better. So far nothing wrong with power steering. So what are the benefits of doing this mode ? I’m in Arizona so if it helps in cooling the engine temp down please take my money hahaha. Thx in advance
 
IMO, it replaces aging/broken parts with new. It is also a superior cooling design over the stock paperclip cooler.
 
Another slap in the face today. I got in a nice big batch of coolers in today from anodizing. I get these all from Derale but I don’t bother with their anodize but it’s always two months out and worse…it’s done in China snd it looks like garbage. So I have them ship the raw aluminum versions to my anodize shop in LA. The anodize shop is now running much farther behind because they are short staffed.

JUST. LIKE. EVERYONE. ELSE.

Well these arrived but with NONE of the brackets or hardware. Turns out this batch didn’t come with the little bracket/hardware packs. They missed it on the entire batch. So off to Derale with a “what the ****?”

They’ll get back to me with sending out the missing packs. ****!

Do everyone that I told that these were going out today, I’m sorry. They aren’t. 😔

So the minute these arrive I will ship your order right out I swear. The packages are kitted and rest to go. Just waiting on the missing stuff arriving. 😔
