    Default Wanted: Power Steering hard line

    Apologies if this isn't the place a wanted request should be but I couldn't find a more suitable area.
    I'm looking for the short hard line on my 84 SVO and was wondering if there was another vehicle I may scavenge off of or if someone has an extra one lying around, hell I'll even take suggestions on how to make my own.
    Are the hard lines high pressure lines? can I make one out of rubber hose?
    Thanks in advance for your help.Name:  steering hard line 2.jpg

    It may be the lack of sleep the last week or so.... But I don't recognize the line in question. It goes from where to where on the PS? The High Pressure line is a steel reinforced flexible rubber line, the return line is just standard rubber hose. That doesn't look like the hard line on the rack that attaches to the PS cooler/return line. So I am drawing a blank right now. Sorry!

    "Hydraulic transfer tubing assembly"

    I'm not sure what they are made out of, but just about any hydraulic shop should be able to make a new one.

    Wraith, its the small line in the attachment.

    Haystack, I bought one of those hard lines but it turns out that the TRW steering rack has a different sized fitting than a Ford hard line(weird). I was told that this particular line was a high heat ,high pressure line but how high heat-pressure can it be if the high pressure line from the pump to the rack and pinion is made of rubber? I think I'm going to try the hydraulic shop hose, see how it goes.. thanks for the input.

    Why not buy yourself a piece of steel tube of the same size, an inexpensive hand tube bender and flaring tool and make your own. Reuse the tube fittings from the original tube. Use the original tube as a pattern for bending up the new one. Put the tube fittings on and flare the ends.

    Or your local hydraulic shop should be able to do the same if you'd rather go that direction.
