Mustang Cobra Hydroboost line question

[rjrobin2002]

Does anyone have a diagram showing which lines go where on a Cobra Mustang hydrobooster and what type of line fittings I will need made on my lines when I have my lines made at the hydraulic shop? I bought my booster used and it had no lines on it and I was not able to see how it was routed. I am not familiar with inverted flare/bubble fitting lingo. I found a good diagram on a chevy astrovan line fittings but not on a Cobra. I was really hoping someone had a receipt with the line specs from getting their lines made so I could have them when I did the conversion and could tell me which lines went where from the booster.

Hope it helps.

I saw this article and bought my booster after reading it. I was really just wanting info on what fittings the lines need and which lines go where.

First need these.

HYDRATECH 9106 O-RING TO FLARE STYLE PORT CONVERSION INSERTS

Which convert the weird o-ring fittings to flare (you only need one of each size).

Then you need flare to AN adapters.

For hose and hose fittings you could use this.

and these.

or these if you need straight.

Looks like this when done.

For the low pressure return line, I cut and flared the tubing and used a flare
fitting I had lying around on the stock HB return tube that I got
with the HB. It's a weird setup how it attaches to the HB,
not sure how you would do it if you don't have this tube.

This is how it attaches stock.

Maybe if you are careful (use heavily greased up tap), you can tap it out and put a brass barb in it, then use rubber tubing for the return line. ?:?

Thank you very much for taking the pictures to show how those adapters fit into the ports and the sequence of how everything goes together. That's a slick, sano way to plumb the Mustang h-boost.

It' s been asked on the board by a couple people since I did it, so figured it needed to be written up. Would be cool if someone could add it as an addendum to the stang HBtech article. Not easy to find those brass conversion fittings, don't think anyone else makes them.

Paul has several items like that in his bag of tricks. Another nice one he sells is the -6 fitting for the low pressure return line. No one else sells that either.

wow

I have to say that that is as good of an answer that I could of asked for. Thanks alot.

Damn, wish I'd known about those oring-flare adapters before I had my lines made up. I can make my own inverted flare fittings, but had to pay for one line because of those stupid o-ring fittings!

any one try using the Mustang hydro lines to the Explorer pump. I have all the parts im going to put it together for Santa. Trying to save a buck on lines and fitting.
