Gotta Show LS1 swap power steering lines
Pump end disassembled showing brass ferrule.
I saw this brand in the Summit catalog and decided to give it a try. They have a lot of different configurations and I eventually had to contact them directly to find the specific kit that fits LS1 pumps and our steering boxes. Priced at $170 I believe that is fair. I ordered on a Monday and received the package on Thursday. Being shipped out of Phoenix, AZ to Milwaukee, WI area, I consider that prompt.
When placing the order the salesman stated this was the last one they currently had on hand. When I removed it from the shipping box the actual packaging was torn open and the O ring on the pump end fitting was missing. I can only assume that it was just an oversight and with the fact it showed up quickly I am not overly upset about having to source an O ring.
Upon installation the hoses need to be trimmed to length and the pump end fitting installed to the pressure hose. The return hose maintains the ability to swivel at the box end after installation. The only stainless is the braided sheathing over the teflon hoses. The hard line ends and fittings are plated steel. I played around with having the fittings facing forward and backward at the box along with keeping a nice swooping arc of the hoses.
At this point in time I am quite pleased. They seem to fit well and do not leak. That being said only time will tell.

Is there provisions for it to connect to a cooler?
that p/s fluid can get rather hot!

A cooler or the cooler ? Everything I received in the kit is pictured in the second picture. You could probably cut fitting off of the box end of the return line and attach it to the cooler that I believe is on your car. You would need to get another clamp like the one that comes in the kit.
