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.

i have one tapped already. $50 its yours
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.
