I am also replacing the lines down from it but it has 2 rubber lines on the frame just down from the master. can't find these any where either. I thought of just making a loop of line after the master to take up shock and eliminating the hoses. what do you think??

They act as if you are bothering them for a part. Even the owner has a attitude. Thats probably why one of his stores went out of buisness. He had 2 stores at one time. I'll have to find a better napa around here. autozone can't find a application, but I think the kid only knows how to look up honda parts.

Illistration # 61. It is an old catalog I keep around for this old stuff. It may have been changed by now. I can get a Carquest number tomorrow when I get to the shop.
