preesure hose

I´m looking for a new power steering pressure hose for my 1961 F85 and can´t find one.
Does anybody knows if the 1964 model is nearly the same?

cheers chris

As long as you still have the ends a hydraulic hose shop should be able to replace the rubber line for you. Dont know where you are located or would have tried to look up a example in your area.

The 64 hose is completely different. The 61-63 cars are unique and are not particularly popular, so parts are difficult or impossible to find. The custom-made hose is probably your best option. Look for a tractor supply house or a hydraulic supply house.

You'll have to take the OEM hoses off the car and take them with you. They will be used as templates to correctly duplicate the new hoses. That's the process one of the manufacturers here uses. When they're done it should be hard to tell the difference (aside from aging)
