I am getting around to hoses on my mustang hydroboost. Three fittings on the booster, two of them have a short hard line adapter.
I have measured them, and looked over a few thread charts but am still not 100% sure on any of them. Any help is appreciated.
The fittings at the booster are two different size ring/ tube fittings like the steering box. The return is a small banjo type fitting.
The adapter end of the short hard lines are metric, maybe 16mm x 1.5 thread count and use an o-ring at the fitting shoulder.

This info may or may not help you; these are the fittings I used to mount a 1999 Mustang Cobra Hydroboost to a 1973 EB with a 4x4x2 power steering box, converting to AN fittings in 2017. The Cobra (and GT, I believe) has a metal “block” which redirects the return and steering box hoses (see image below).

RonJones, thanks, my fittings were a little different than yours. Not sure what model mustang this came out of, but there are hard lines instead of the adapter block. Booster fittings are 5/8-18 and 11/16-18 o ring. The stock power steering box is 5/8-18 and 11/16-18 inverted flare. Here are the adapters I’ve gotten to make them all AN-6
Still have the return on the booster and the pressure line on the pump to convert
