this is true. i just walk into my napa with the hoses, couplings, and starbucks coffee. i ask the guy if i can use the crimping machine myself. invariably, they say "its all yours".

Since the m60 P/S pump uses a bigger input banjo fitting then the e30 does (18mm), you'll need to come up with a solution for that. The m60 P/S hose probably won't fit great, it has a long section of metal pipe that is most likely directly in the way of... everything. You may be able to carefully bend it into shape, but it's an $80 part.

I just picked up part number 32411119782 (from an e12) for $5, which is an 18mm banjo fitting that has a male hose barb end on it, so you can just get a hose that fits on that barb, and connect that to your P/S reservoir. Turns out the barb is the same size as the reservoir output, so it works nice. I forget which size hose I used. I did the same thing for the rack output to the reservoir... just a banjo male barb fitting to a hose, same size as the reservoir. As others have stated, a custom high pressure line is needed. I used a swivel 90 degree fitting at one end so that the 'clocking' of the hose and the length wouldn't need to be exact.
