power steering pressure hose

I jist realized that noone reproduces the Z shaped steel line that attaches to the back of the power steering pump. Anyone know what i should do about this? Its always something.

I just replaced mine this year.. rockauto has them, I got one from a local store.

I looked at rockauto. it seems that its just the line that pushes into the rubber hose. thats not it.

Ill add pictures.

You might be able to use a steel brake line and bend it up yourself. I don't know the pressure comparison between the power steering and brakes.

If it comes down to that thats what ill have to do. I never bent or flared lines liek that before.

If I remember correctly it's just your standard double flare, here's a pretty good walk through.

A simple line bender link this will work just fine for what you need.

I made the hard fuel line that runs from the fuel pump to the carb with something similar.

Keep in mind that power steering line is way bigger than brake lines

Ya its not something i want to make if i can help it

The only one I have at this time is on a running 72 Q code convertible.

Don't want to disable / start parting it out for a couple of weeks until stuff is moved for winter storage.
