So the brake line didn't work out, guess the hose wasn't getting enough of a seal around it.
Picked up two Gates G36535-0606 fittings

and three feet of steering hose and hooked it up as follows.

So I have return hose from reservoir -> Gates coupler -> hose -> Gates coupler -> return hose to steering rack.
So far so good, only minor issue might be that the condenser still has fluid in it and I'm not sure how to drain it. Thought about just getting some JB Weld and sealing up the hose connections (right now I have rubber caps on them held on by hose clamps) but the JB Weld will seal them up for good.

Thoughts?
