Am I going to have to have these made up?  I would think there would be a source

I would be looking at a farm machinery place, or a Hydraulics engineering shop.

They may even find that they can utilise your original fittings in the making.

While we are discussing replacement parts, does anyone reproduce the horns for a '58?  I am looking for a low note '58 horn.  Are there close after market horns that are sold that resemble originals?

I just purchased one from McVey's in March for my 57.  It looks great and works perfectly.  They have one for a 58.

Thank you David.  I understand there are two hoses.  Did you get both?

Caddy Daddy has both of your power steering hoses.

Return Hose:

Pressure hose:
https://www.caddydaddy.com/shop-parts/1958-cadillac-power-steering-hose-high-pressure-reproduction-free-shipping-in-the-usa.html

For your return hose, I believe all that you need is the length of 3/8 power steering hose, and any needed clamps--the metal tubing should be reusable, thus negating the need to purchase the complete return hose as
shown by Caddy Daddy.

As David said, McVey's has the pressure hose, and for less money than Caddy Daddy:
https://mcveys.com/collections/power-steering-hoses/products/1958-power-steering-pressure-hose

The least expensive way to get the hoses is to take your old hoses to a hydraulics place and they will make them for you for less money than the reproduction ones from Caddy Daddy or McVey's.  If you have them made, you will absolutely have to take the old ones so they can match the fittings and relative alignment of the ends--especially the pressure hose.

I fixed the horn.   Both Frank Puma and Brian Faull told me to soak inside of horn with penetrating oil.  I did this over a two day period, and it began working today!  Thank both of you

When I needed transmission coolant lines my local Napa store made them for me. Exact duplicates of the originals. Good price and they fit perfectly. They even had the fittings, but maybe power steering is different.

Got mine from McVeys and I am happy with them. Clay/Lexi

Power steering pressure hose arrived from McVey's yesterday.  Like everything else I have ever purchased from them, it is a thing of beauty.  It was good to talk to Craig again.  I received a new catalog with the shipment, I can't believe they stock all those parts: (or are able to reproduce so many of them).
