Tapping a 1980-96 Ford steering box

[KrazyKarl02]

Anyone know where you tap a 1980-1996 Ford steering box for hydro-assist? There used to be a thread on fullsizebronco, but the pictures don't work anymore. I could not find anything on pirate or here. Anyone got any info?

Not sure this helps but I'll post it anyway.

For reference this is where you tap the box.

fwiw it doesn't have to be tapped in those locations, there is a shiatload of spots on a box you can tap if those spots are obstructed in the truck.

I just wanted to post it up, When I searched on the interweb I could find a lot of pics of 78-79 taps, but could find no pictures of newer ford taps. This particular box came off of Clarke's bronco (90's ish) and I put it on my '82 F150 frame, so the locations should work for most application.

it's just that I see so many cludged adapters and elbow's poeple use to get the lines routed around stuff when they could have just picked a better spot to tap. I want to weld fittings on mine at a spot I can get the two fittings as close together as possible so the lines can run real cleanly bundled together.
