Try these guys. If they don't have it then you might have to go to your local auto parts / hardware store and have them manufacture one for you.

I had a set of hoses made up for an application I needed once by a local outfit that does that kind of thing. If your car is driveable you should just take it to a place that does hydraulic lines and let them measure and make you a set. The name of the place I used is Tubes N' Hoses of Kansas City, Construction, Industry, Auto. If you do a search in your local telephone service directory I am sure you will find someone.

thanks.
i have already made one of a hydraulic hose and it works fine,but the whole steering pump and hoses get verry hot.
so i thought that maby the original hoses have a different kind of flow.
maby the hose from a toronado or 442 will also fit.
the problem here in holland is that i dont have much to compare.
too see is too believe.
thans,gerlof

I can appreciate your predicament. I hope you get your problem solved.

I wouldn't think the hose would make that much difference. As long as the fittings and crimping on each end is correct. In addition, you want to make sure the hose you use is sturdy enough. It has to have an appropriate burst pressure (I am not sure what this would be for a power steering pump). Other than that, it might just be the nature of the beast. The power steering pump in my 64 98 runs rather hot. Note that you are supposed to use Dexron Mercron ATF in these power steering pumps, not power steering fluid. I don't know how the two oils will react when they contact each other.
