I"M working on a project and need a power steering line made. I'm in south Orange County Ca.
Does anyone know where I can have this made. I have the ends, just need the hose crimped in place... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Look for a forklift or heavy equipment shop, they can do what you need.

My local NAPA, and thus I suspect yours, crimps hydraulic lines and has a fair bit of fittings to boot.

Andys First off, contact Baker Precision (long beach area) http://www.bakerprecision.com/ If they can't do it, go to Orme Brothers (in the San Fernando Valley) http://www.ormebrothers.com/ (actually, Orme Brothers would be my first recommendation, but they are farther from you) Wes Vann |

I called my local napa store and they don't do P/S hose anymore, however they did get me in contact with someone who can build one.
Thank you guys for the advise, this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) power steering project is an interesting one. |

Hi,
Just went through this on our V8-powered Volvo wagon (long story in itself) . . . I found a parker hydraulic hose dealer in the yellow pages. They were able to fabricate a hose for me in about 10 minutes. Hose is rated to 3000 psi. It has a 10mm compression fitting for the Volvo banjo fitting (rack end), and 3/8" compression fitting for the Ford CII pump fitting. I think it cost around 25 bucks . . . . Hope this helps, Steve A- |
