Another power steering question

[Riverbum]

Ordered a new Lares power steering pump and a new pressure hose for my 71 Mach1. It had a Saginaw pump with a homemade line I didn't trust. The new hose, which is supposed to be a stock replacement, does not fit the fitting on the pump. The pump is designed to fit an inverted flare fitting, but the hose is something completely different. The second picture is the hose fitting that's supposed to attach to the pump. The last picture is the pump and hose on my 71 sportsroof.

There was a short section of metal tubing from the pump that the hose attaches to. Pic below. Hard to find for sure. Click on photo to see the entire part.

So I'm missing the "intermediate" line? That makes sense.

Yeah. I ended up borrowing one from a member on here and made my own then sent his back to him.

I love Fords, but leave it to their engineers to do something crazy like that lol

Thanks. I have one on another 71, but I didn't notice it was a two piece hose/line. Got one on the way from NPD now. Much appreciated
