Hello,

Looking for information on whether an "L" connector or 90 degree (my bad on the labeling as 45) type connector exists for the main connections for a 3rd function? I had my dealer install my setup in a manner to try to protect the hoses/connections. I'll try to add a picture with this to show where I'm looking to change the connectors. I'm hoping to change them so I can run the hoses or keep them inside the FEL mounts/bracketing/arms to protect them as much as possible. Thanks in advance for any help/input!

Thinking about this a little more.....would this in any way restrict the flow or cause problems with hydraulic flow for the 3rd function? Thanks again!

I installed 90 degree elbows to the vulnerable third function hoses mounted beneath my L6060.

Though they remain vulnerable, they are now less so.

Thanks fellas for the responses, I appreciate it as well as the clarification on fittings vs connectors. I'm trying to get this thing setup as bulletproof as possible from the get go rather than it costing me money and down time learning what won't work, then having to pay extra to get it fixed! Thanks also for the Op who changed my title :)

Do you have any pics of the L6060 SDT that I can see how you did yours? Thanks
