synolimit,
Two more points that need to be made.

1) The Tilton Pump you have highlighted in that Summit Racing shopping cart is for "intermittent usage only". The pump is not designed to be used continuously.

Check out the Tilton 40-527 model. It is the SAME thing, but is slightly beefier and is rated to be run continuously. I would recommend that model since people often forget to shut things off and may accidentally run the pump longer than Tilton intends.

2) In your shopping cart, you have about 4~5 different fittings from different manufacturers. I saw Summit, Fragola, Russell and others. Most Hydraulic Line builders will warn you against doing that. Mixing manufacturers can cause some serious issues between tolerences and quality. I highly recommend sticking to 1 manufacturer if doable. Otherwise, do no more than 2 in a single build. Choose a good, high quality fitting manufactuer that will offer most of the fittings you need. I generally choose to use Aeroquip myself when doing personal projects.
