Guest pelmetman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Curious that you should say that :-S..................As having recently had my camper fitted with power steering, the only non reconditioned parts he had to get from the scrappy were the hoses :-S............

dipstick0_0 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 At the moment I have had to bodge the old pipe up to keep going However I really do need to sort it out Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If the hose has not been heat formed into a special shape you will be able to get replacement hose form Hydraulic hose suppliers. Plenty in plymouth if you search google. possibly http://www.flexihose-ltd.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstick0_0 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi and thanks for that but there are bends in the pipe I know you can still buy parts panels etc for vintage cars so someone somewhere must still make the pipe Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Sounds like the scrappy is your best bet ;-)................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Have searched to no avail. Your best option seems to be to have one made up by a hydraulic hose supplier from steel or aluminium alloy tubing and interconnect straight sections and couplings with normal rubber hose suitable for power steering oil. This is a normal way of making up replacement hoses. Commercial garages should also be able to make one up for you as they do this for trucks a lot. An hydraulic hose supplier should also make up high pressure ones if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstick0_0 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Many thanks to you all for your comments I was sure that if it was possible to buy one ready made someone on here would know where So looks as if I will have to have one made up Again thanks for all your help Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 What you might be able to do is buy one for a later vehicle where say the bottom is the same shape as required but top needs to be altered or vica versa. Problem with this is you often need to actually see the part. Would not surpise me though if ones for later vehcles are very close. Be a lot easier and neater if you can get a hose which maybe just needs modifying. edit - just had a quick look - seem to be a totally different shape looking at parts list illustrations.
