Power steering pipes?

[spannerrash]

I now have the hoses back from Spectrum and at first glance they look really good. What do you think?

In order to try and preempt some questions you may have I sent an email to Neil with some of the more obvious one's.

Hi Frank,

To answer your questions.

Does a potential customer defiantly have to supply usable ends?*
Yes, we don’t have the tooling to copy the ends.

Is there any way you can manufacture the ends if they are unusable?*
No.

Did you put a plastic / Teflon sleeve inside the high pressure pipe?
Yes, I removed the small Nylon tubes and their fittings that secures them in place and the restrictor and refitted them all into the High Pressure hose.

Did you draw a pattern or are you still relying on a sample? I make notes and do a sketch when I do this type of job but I need a donor hose for the ends so it ends up as being a pattern as well. It makes things easier if I am given a complete hose assembly to copy, when people try to dismantle them they usually end up damaging the inner Nylon tube and I don’t know the orientations of the ends which makes the job trickier.

Hope these answers help

Kind Regards

I guess before we can call this a 100% success, someone needs to try them out.
