Power Steering Line Source

I normally go to The Parkerstore(Triad Fluid Power) or napa. Both of the ones here in town carry a ton of fittings and hose for all types of hydraulics. I would head to the Parkerstore first as they specialize in hydraulics more. Maybe a place to start as they will do it while you wait if they have the ends and so forth.

Try a farm supply or tractor repair shop.

Who made them?

I tried to get a Weatherhead/Aeroquip dealer to make me some and was told that they could not get that fitting end?! :angry1:

It's a standard fitting nothing special and any power steering service can make them. Even better, the mercruiser will cost you over $100 and I had mine made for $46.00

I ended up doing this.

and then making a standard JIC flared fitting. Problem is the 90 hose end plus this fitting runs the steering hose too close to the exhaust for my liking.

Mine is the same way.

As noted by others above, the local hydraulics supply / service store can make teflon lined stainless braided ones for what the merc ones cost... and can make high quality rubber ones like the merc ones for a good bit less than the merc ones... If you've got a good local shop, orten times they can do them for you in real time...
