Power steering hi pressure hose
Any good shop should HAVE and be able to crimp those fittings. The 06U series Weatherhead fittings are very common, and other brands have their own equivalents.
I don't know what the Borgenson box uses for fittings, but here's an example----"back when" we used to 4x4, LOTS of us used GM boxes. These had a common 3/8" inverted flare fitting for the return fitting---easy, and had a 3/8 TUBE for the pressure, but it had a special oversized NUT which ---just like master cylinder fittings-- "upsized" the nut size
I don't recall the part no. But Weatherhead used to make 06U series fittings in straight/ 45 / 90 inverted flare. For while, I used to carefully trim the end off the 90, put a salvaged 7/16 pressure nut off an old GM tube, and re--flare the nut. I don't know if Weatherhead still does, but they DID for awhile offer these special 3/8 tube x 7/16 nuts for GM boxes. A 90 looks like this:
06U-BXX

Shows some of it. The index is showing page 101, makes no sense, there is no page 101
Look on page 11 for the inverted flare I mentioned, and page 15 for the compression fittings I mentioned earlier
I have no idea why I remembered those part numbers. Last time I had my hands on a crimp machine was in the '80's. I've crimped hundreds of hoses, and hand made the PITA "makeup" ends.
