70 CS power steering

Where is the best place to get a power steering return line tube. I can find the pressure line everywhere but short of opgi or year one I can't find a return line tube.

Power steering line from the parts store. It's a low pressure return line that is held on with clamps.

It is the low pressure return line that I am trying to find, Mainly the steel tube with the fitting and barbed end that goes into the steering box.

A variety of steel line fittings that can screw into the steering box and connect to a length of return hose are available from NAPA.
I do not know whether any of these comes close to being an exact duplicate of the original.

Is your metal line missing? They are reusable as all that usually needs replacing is the rubber hose and clamps..

Then take it down to the auto parts store and see if they have a short tube and fitting you can match up. Its not a barbed fitting its just a flared tube and connecting nut.

Rock auto has it. It is the pipe nipple portion with a section of rubber tube Factory clamped with the correct clamp. pretty cheap even with shipping.
