The PS pump and brackets came out of a car with the PS gear box INSIDE the frame and my PS gear box is OUTSIDE the frame. Besides that, the hoses are probably too rotten to use anyway.
I have the correct fittings from my 1974 gear box and the correct PS pump fittings too. All I really know is one side is low pressure so I guess that just uses a hose clamp. Can a shop make me a new high pressure hose? What kind of shop should I look for? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,236 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,236 | Some NAPA stroes can make hydraulic lines or just search "hydraulic hose" in your area.

There is a place here in Spartanburg called Hydradyne that has hundreds of fittings and can make all kinds of hoses....it'll give you and excuse to check your gas mileage | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,995 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,995 | If you're in farming country most implement dealers and some of the farm supply type stores can make them. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | Good advice is posted above. Try to find a hydraulic hose supplier in your area. One company in my area was quite rude to me, but another company, Omni Hose, Inc., repaired and assembled about 12 of the hoses for my COE - at a cost a little higher than the cost of the fittings. You might find some leads in this search-result. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 | NAPA and O'Reilly's make them to order.

I'll soon have the PS pump installed so this should be getting done by middle of May. Not sure how I will route the hoses but shouldn't be too difficult. Where to acquire the hoses was one piece of the puzzle I had not figured out yet. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Jay, as you will find out, not all major parts store do the same all over the states as with everything else. Around here O'Rielly and NAPA do not....at least not in my town, which is why I mentioned Hydrodyne. They may be a chain and close by??? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 608 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 608 | Alvin,You feelin slighted by this?

I have a very touch skin! I was actually saying that for Lugnutz benefit as we are friends and the stores I mentioned usually have one on every corner which means there is no need for them to put "some" services in every store. I always try to do local but as you mentioned, some of the great local stores are being pushed out. Advance Auto recently bought up CARQUEST but for some reason NAPA seems to hangon......and I mentioned this sometime ago that the counter help at NAPA are "almost" always brighter, meaning mechanically inclined, to know more about parts and what is going on than the rest put together and they are usually older, more mature, and stay on the job a lot longer!
