I'm in need of a new pressure hose as mine is leaking/drawing in air.  Original is preferable however a nice repro will do.  Please let me know if you have this item.  Thanks!

I bought one that was supposed to fit from one of the parts places, but was too long.   So you're better off having one made.   Now I need to take this one in and get shortened or made new anyway.   I don't think there's anyone supplying NOS that I found.   Even if you find, the rubber maybe bad.

Yeah there is one Ebay now for 45 bucks but I'm afraid to buy something that may be dry rotten.  Mine was fine until it got hot outside and it developed a pinhole leak at the end of the hose.  I patched it with gorilla tape and a hose clamp but it still leaks a bit at a time.  I see repro ones for sale but they dont look correct.

I had a pair manufactured at a Hydraulics place they fit perfectly. They did not have the flow restrictors which introduce a little bit of noise. But they work very well. Noise is minimal.

McVeys offer a replacement that looks correct but its zinc plated so it has a gold tone to the metal.  Has anyone ever used one of their replacements?  Also what fluid should I be using in my power steering reservoir?
