Default Hydraboost Plumbing Question???

For those who have done the plumbing up of the Hydroboost system themselves what fittings do i need to get? I can research and figure it out but if someone has already done it i would greatly appreciate some Part #'s or fitting #'s or anything else that might be of help.
Right now i'm waiting on my new calipers to arrive as well as some lines and i figured after i get everything back together and bled out that i might as well go the extra mile and install the hydraboost pump.
:cheers:

You'll need to determine if you have metric (o-ring seal type) or standard (flare seal type). If its the metric type the inlet uses an 18mm threaded oring fitting and the outlet is a 16mm threaded oring fitting. Speedway motors (www.speedwaymotors.com) sells both which go from the 18mm to -6 (#617-4808) and 16mm to -6 (#617-4806). The Drain uses a 5/16-24 Straight threda oring fitting but No one selld a threaded fitting to replace it. If you need one I can make one for a few dollars in material and lathe time.

Hole that helps. IF you have any questions just emial me.
