Power Steering

[Injuhneer]

I'd love to stroll into a hydraulic shop in town but the nearest is over 80 miles away.

I can fab the fittings today and have a hose made and in the mail today or tomorrow.

#3 JIC fittings on the hardline and 3000 PSI hose with swivel JIC fittings.

A related question:
In another thread you mentioned brazing fittings on the OEM steel lines and using a hose between. What is the OD of the tube where the OEM crimp is located? Is it the same as the rest of the tube? Or is it necked down or expanded?

I want to make this change to mine but am trying to determine the tube OD before buying hydraulic or transmission cooler line.

Thanks in advance.

It's just a hydraulic line... I would think any heavy equipment repair shop could make a replacement...

Today it gets even better.

So I call NAPA to get some 1/2" transmission cooler line. According to the NAPA web site I can order NBH H1946 by the foot. I called the store to check availability and the manager said I'd have to buy the entire 50 ft roll.

Really?
