power steering hoses and routing

[kcmash]

Yes,

That is the same as mine.  It is very tough in my opinion to get good repo hoses for Power Staaering or AC.  I figure there is no sense in wasting more time on hoses, since mine is not 100 percent original anyway.  

Those can be points upgrades if I ever get to a show circuit.

I guess that's a good point. I have many aftermarket parts on mine too, so it probably doesn't matter as long as the leak is fixed.

You will not find a repo that’s made correct. No one seems to be to make them right. I bought one of the p/s hoses that was said to be concourse correct. Ya, right. It wasn’t close to the original and the the damn thing came apart while I was making a turn. Almost hit another car with the sudden lose of the power steering. I wound Not trust a Scott Drake part for that, or anything else important. Just make sure the the fittings are crimped on good.

This might be more difficult than I thought....

The new hose is definitely too long. It won't fit under my shock tower/cowl brace. Has anyone here had success neatly installing a 3A719-A replacement hose from any source?
