Changing LS1 power steering pump hose fitting to -AN style fitting

Wanting to make a little series of videos when i turbo my stroker and this is my first attempt at making a video, will hopefully get good at it before any of the good stuff happens..
In this vid i simply change in the inlet of the Power steering pump to a compression fitting allowing it to be adapted to AN style fittings.
any tips and pointers on making the vids are welcome!

cheers

I find it poor practice to use adjustable wrenches on those aluminum fittings. Wrap the fittings with tape, use a properly sized six point socket wrench, a good line wrench, or perhaps even the aluminum wrenches designed for soft A-N Fittings. Or else be prepared to touch-up the color with paint or a felt tip. Also be careful not to over tighten those aluminum fittings as they can self destruct, after all, they are only soft aluminum not hard steel (Don't ask how I know this)....RooDog

what brand fitting and series did you use?

[@SL1D1N]

proflow fittings, the compression fitting is a 5/8 tube to male -10AN adapter, then a 120 degree forged push on end.

I know this is old but what pump and reservoir did you use?

[@SL1D1N]

Pump is the factory one and the reservior is Aeroflow

[@Tifford1]

Did you put anything between the male and female fittings? Or did they seal up with just metal against metal?

[@SL1D1N]

The fitting that go to the hose side are AN flare style fittings so its just metal to metal, and the fittings that go into the reservoir use a copper washer from memory.

@@SL1D1N Thank you!

[@Funkyflykiwi]

Still happy with it mate? No leaks?

[@SL1D1N]

Yep! Still works and looks great. Not a single drop, no weeps or film, nothing, and its been turbo now for 3 years so that area see's a lot a heat as well. Cheers

@@SL1D1N Brilliant, thanks for the video and reply. does the build link have the part numbers of the parts you used?

[@SL1D1N]

@@Funkyflykiwi nahh sorry mate, and i did this over 6 years ago so i cant remember much. They are pretty standard fittings though. Most of the aluminium fitting brands will stock them.
