Hi, from Orlando, Florida, U.S.A.! Great presentation. I learned the Metric system when I was a child in the 60's, and they said that was the system to which we were going - 60 years later I'm still waiting. I use both systems, doing machine work as a hobby. Best wishes to you, and I hope that you stay healthy!

@ohcamsrazor1966 5 лет назад

I do probably 50 or 60 power steering hoses per year in Bunbury WA. I am a mobile hose owner and depending on the brand of hose , you can do almost OEM quality work, or sometimes I use stainless/ Teflon if the owner wants bling.

@hunt3r1979 5 лет назад

I do the same here in Ballarat mate. Loads of custom mustang ones. I do a lot in steel pipe work too. I get a real kick out of doing a good OEM looking job.

@fascistpedant758 5 лет назад

I agree with you guys. A/N looks dinky. OEM looks much better.

@toml802 3 года назад

Swapping OE to new crate motor on my old C10 right now and I have to adapt OE box to new pump with metric fittings. I love to see the old "I don't have it, so I'm going to make it" mentality! Glad to see Aussies still hot rodding too!

@MaxPower_Designs 5 лет назад

Also quick tip when making hydraulic hoses, or any hoses for that matter, always clock/orient your fitting and route your hose to go with the natural flow of the hose, meaning bulk hoses comes on a spools and tend to always have a bend or curve in it. Keep that in mine when routing your hose, don’t fight it, use it to your advantage! Specially true if you go above 1/2” hoses and more so if it’s double braided.

I really appreciate these Quick Tech series vids, guys! Topic suggestion: the differences and various applications between oil-only CHRA turbos and oil-and-coolant CHRA ones.

@thecraftiekiwi4919 5 лет назад

Oil only for a engine thats built to make big power.water cooling if it's going to a million kilometres... Turbos have come along way from the 90s! unless you buy a manufacturer specific turbo it won't have water cooling....

@numinous4789 5 лет назад

@@thecraftiekiwi4919 I'm looking at either a G25-660 Garrett (oil-and-water CHRA) or perhaps a Gen 2 5558 PTE (oil-only CHRA). I'll be tuning for 500whp. I currently have a GT2871 now (oil-and-water, 390whp) on my Mazdaspeed 3. My application is for competitive tracking and auto-x, so heat rejection over an extended period of time is important and has me shying away from oil-only.

@bingysbackyard 5 лет назад

I work for Pirtek... and cause I have a passion for cars ... if it's for a car I ask What make and their intentions if it's just to make it work or does it need to be pretty as I can make it

@someyoungguy6990 5 лет назад

Good on ya mate ! You sir would be one of the few good ones out there. Most hose replacement companies I've seen only specialise in quick and fit for purpose not show car standard, and when you do find someone who can make it shine it has the shiny price tag to match. If it is cool with @The Skid Factory could you pass your contact details around (for when we require a quick roadside fix) ?

@MattPratt 5 лет назад

Welding the thin pipe to an AN fitting with ER70S filler can make them brittle and prone to failure. Especially in due to heat and vibration fatiguing them. I usually like to use silicon bronze and TIG them together without melting the base metal. You'll notice a lot of engine oil pickups are constructed this way for the same reason.

Would possible to go more in depth in terms of fittings, sizes and common uses. I'm also a mechanic but I don't actually know what you mean when you say we are using this dash 100 series line for application X. It would be nice to see and have explain the differences in lines, sizes and being able to have a rough idea on what lines are needed for certain applications

@shanebep3135 5 лет назад

Check out the Bedford van episode he talked about. He goes over all that stuff, it's really informative!

@NBSV1 5 лет назад

With AN fittings larger numbers are bigger fittings. So -8 would be bigger than -6. And they get sized based on how much flow is needed and what kind of pressure it needs. Smaller hoses can withstand higher pressures without extra reinforcement. And the 100 series is the type of the hose. It varies some by brand, but the different series will have different pressure ratings and different fluids they’ll handle.

@roberthambrook150 5 лет назад

I had my steering rack changed a year or two ago on my 97 Camry. They didn't tighten the fitting on the steering rack from the steering wheel. I took it back and said it has a lot of play in it. The steering feels quite light, the steering wheel is off centre and personally I think the rack needs a little more play taken out of it. I like a steering wheel that you can take your hands off and it drives straight down the road with a slight tendency to wander according to road surface.

@codnicman13 5 лет назад

@SerenaBluee 3 года назад

Thank you for this - I'm ordering some from Aus as there are no UK suppliers. I'm not even doing this for a conversion, just to replace the factory lines that have perished and follow a truly ridiculous path around the engine bay. About 4 metres of pipe to travel 1.5 metres from pump to rack. No NOS available anywhere and it's only a 2006 car.

@shanebep3135 5 лет назад

CarQuest can do up hoses for people in Canada, not too expensive, around $100 depending on the hose and it'll look pretty much OEM. Although they didnt have the right fittings to do a custom clutch hose for me the last time, but brake line did the trick until I got my hands on the right materials.

@chrismurphy9557 3 года назад

As a hydraulics worker who remakes P/S hoses but the part you'll miss is the internal resister on the high pressure side preventing damage to pumps and boxes due to fluid pulses. with all respect Yoda at 11:14 you shouldn't use the hose to turn the mandrel/hose tail on. Funny part is AN6 is a 9/16" JIC to hydraulics worker.

@StopTheRust 5 лет назад

I had a look and the 90 degree's are almost $50 each. This made my hose over $200 , to make it myself. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I need a custom hose because my chevelle is converted to right hand drive. I'm thinking about getting a factory hose, cutting it and welding in a steel extension. I'm open to better ideas.

@vernkoczur 5 лет назад

Interesting, I normally go to the local hydraulic hose shop that makes custom hoses and will do it using the old fittings then will do it the cheep way with functional hose or the fancy with decent priced parts, did a nice job on my ATTESA pump hose for my S12.... but good to know which hose and parts to look for when that isn't a option, thanks

my local shop tha does industrial psi hoses charges me $160 cdn just to fix a hose, which was half the price of a new ford hose plus install by local mechanic shop 430 cdn so i installed it myself for 1/3 the total cost of that shop doin it.. after doin Ls swap fuel system, ive got about 15 inches left of some high pressure fuel hose and enough left over fittings i think i can make one of these from that and just get those adapters, so maybe 10-15 bucks to make a new hose fit :-)

@jamesfackenthal 5 лет назад

When you are assembling the hose I noticed you did not Mark the end of the hose at the fitting after you threaded it into the fitting. When I made hoses for the race boat I used to work on, I used to always take electrical tape and Mark the hose with the electrical tape at the end of the fitting, and make sure that the hose didn't back out of the end of the fitting while you're threading the Spike into the hose

Ross Burrow all the aluminium spanners do is prevent scratching the on A/N fittings. As they’re expensive fittings and people tend to use them for display purposes.. the spanners are recommended.
