After waiting for what seems like forever…finally got the intake tube made and upper/lower radiator hoses made and powder coated. Also, installed the rear axles and had to custom make a throttle cable bracket as no one has an off-the-shelf one for a Whipple 4.0. If so, I couldn't find it. I even called Whipple and they were no luck. I still have to get the power steering hoses made to connect to the Hydroboost and rack and pinion setup. It came with hoses, but I'm not too fond of the old school stainless braid as all of my other hoses are black. So, I'll have to get black hoses and fittings.

Put some black loom on those power steering hoses and send it…

Dang it...you know what Don?! I didn't even think of that. That'll be a lot more cost effective

Depending on the fittings (size/orientation), you could look for heat shrink tubing that can slip over the existing stuff. McMaster Carr & similar supply houses offer a decent variety on size/lengths.

I've used it over braided stainless before for a quick/easy solution that's cheaper vs re-making the lines. I think Concept One had a variety of black high pressure lines as well. I believe they were who I sourced the lines from on my dually (build your own kit).
