Midlife Customs

Hello my name is Greg and I like building stuff. Welcome to my channel Midlife Customs.

I post videos of various projects (working on cars and trucks/DIY videos/acting clips) and share them with you. Hopefully you will find them entertaining and/or informational.

Ever since I was a kid I have enjoyed building stuff or putting things back together again. I am self taught and work on these projects, including these videos, mostly by myself. My brother is pretty good at lending a hand if I need it. Thanks Bro, lol. Please take a moment to look around and don't forget to hit subscribe and click the bell icon to catch future videos. Thanks for visiting. kzread.info

    This is exactly how a tutorial video should be! Slow, great explanation and good up close imaging of what you’re doing! So many people have the camera so far away that you really can’t see what they’re doing, to understand what they’re doing! Thanks for a great video!

    They use a hydraulic version of this at the dealership. Having too much sticker out on OP-1 or uneven cut would cause a larger end the fitting may not go over. Clean & taper the inside of the cut tubing and make sure it is square. Thanks for the video!

    Some brands or so called experts say to leave 1/8th" between to two fittings. Are the using a different brand of fittings? I am quickly loosing track of brands and right v wrong. This build is mine, kinda want it right. Thanks for video!

    Many -AN fitting companies do not allow use of another companies hose, or so they say. I fixed vehicles with factory parts at dealers so this is all new. I watched the videos and have tools already. Have you run across hose issues? I plan on woven hose on fuel supply & return on my LS family engine. Thanks! Retire, ASE Master.

    I heard some say you need teflon tape? I been looking at a transmission cooler on amazon and it comes with AN fittings. Some reviews say the fittings need teflon/plumbers tape. I wonder if it also means I have to put an fittings on my factory transmission lines too?

  • @midlifecustoms
    @midlifecustomsАй бұрын

    @Soldier1287 AN fittings don't usually use teflon tape. You might be able to find a adapter fitting to go from the factory line fitting to the AN fitting on the transmission cooler.

    Curious. I have this exact fittings and hose, was planning on replacing a hard steel hose thats on my rack and pinion, do you know if this style of an fittings and hose is rated for high pressure power steering? Thanks

    @midlifecustoms2 ай бұрын

    @jordanboelter No, sorry I do not know the pressure rating.

  • @deankay4434
    @deankay443416 күн бұрын

    Rack and pinion pressures run 400-600PSI, depending on the brand. Recirculating ball steering gear boxes run 800-1,200PSI and low pressure return is under 20PSI. DK, ASE Master tech since 78, retired.
