Well, right now , I'm hung up on finding some 1/4" black pipe fittings.
I thought I needed 3/8" stuff ad came home with a bag full of stuff from Ace Hdw yesterday, only to discover I needed 1/4"
The lower end of the lift cyl's need an ell so I can get rid of the big loop of hose hanging down ad rubbing on everything. The hydraulic shop did not have any 1/4 NPt x JIC ells, so I had planned on a black pipe street ell and a short nipple, or just a nipple and another ell, whichever I could make work best, hence an assortment to pick from, now it's all gotta go back!.
I have in mind a manifold of sorts supported by a bracket bolted to and behind the tower fuel tank mount. Then I can snake the left side lift hoses across the frame Keeping them clear of anything. The suction and pressure hose from the pump to the valve body and reservoir in the rt side upright will be supported just below this piece, again, keeping clear of everything. Sure wish that engine was 2 or 4" ahead further!.
As pictured, these tee's will be a bit further to the left and staggered somewhat for hose clearance to the valve body inboard pair of fittings which I will change to 90* JIC
