Had some rust by the box and the return tube that comes out of the box broke off. This is the screw-in, short angled metal tube that the rubber hose goes over and clamps onto. This is for an 80's era Olds but earlier may fit. If anyone has one please drop me a PM or email elcamino1970@hotmail.com. Thanks.

 

I'll have to check for one; be advised that around '79-'80 the fitting going into the steering box changed from "inverted flare" to "O-ring" and from American to Metric on the hex portion.

 

The one I'm looking for is the o-ring style. Should be 16mm thread.

 

Did you ever find the tube that you were looking for? Thanks, Bob.

 

For the return line, you can just pick up a nipple that size at NAPA (angled or straight) and attach the hose with a hose clamp.

^^^Agreed. The return line doesn't carry anywhere near the PSI that the pressure line does. You can prolly also get them at Autozone or O'Reilly's. Yup, just did an online search. They range from 6.50 to 13.50 at O'Reillys. They also have the pressure line for 17.99

Autozone has the pressure line - complete for less than 20 bucks. If you have rust issues with one hose, the other (pressure) prolly won't be far behind and it carries +1000 PSI

 

I ended up buying some rubber hose and a 45 degree fitting. There's a few different styles out there, none really specific to the car but as long as they had the 16mm end on them I could get them to work.
