Celica first generation A20 (A21, A22, A25, A27, etc.)

Banjo fittings are available at auto parts stores in generic metric sizes. PIGDOG used one off a Nissan Skyline#R33 power steering pump.

HiAce brake reservoir with one of the outlets blocked off was mounted in the engine bay. Big hose is just the feed from the reservoir so no pressure in there....same clamp that was on there stock
