Steering box fittings: RUS-640380 5/8-18 TO -6
RUS-648050 11/16-18 TO -6

PS Pump fittings: RUS-648060 16MMx1.5 to -6

Hydrooboost fittings: RUS-670531 16MMX1.5 MALE adapter to -6
RUS-670541 18MMx1.5 MALE adapter to -6

Pressure Hose ends: RUS-620421, Endura Hose end -6 90 degrees.

I just used rubber hose for my return lines, and the hydroboost and steering box both already had a hose barb fitting for the return lines. Hope this helps.

Then I just bent the lines to fit and lay nicely.

The holes that have a star pattern stamped into them are the holes that originally had the mounting studs in them, the others I drilled to mount it. I did have to modify the mounting plate slightly after this picture was taken, I had to cut it to clearance the column support mount, and cut it a little more to look better with that part cut out.

Make sure that when you measure the length of the pushrod, you have the brake pedal where you want it, and have the return spring in the end of the hydroboost. I had the brake pedal too high, and did not have the return spring on mine, and had to shorten mine from what you see in this picture.
