Hydraulic system ... 5000 vs 100/200 interchange

[Dave C]

Kneale,

I think it's the other way around.  The O-ring type banjo bolts/flats are
larger than the crush washer type.  I know for sure that the crush washer
type pump/rack is not compatible with the O-ring type banjo bolts... lesson
learned the hard way.

Also ... it appears that the replacement rack available from sjmauto.com for
both crush washer and O-ring systems has the same part number.  This
suggests to me that they are only rebuilding/selling the newer style with
large flats and that it is compatible with both systems.

I just want to confirm that's the case before I install.

thanks!
