Just discovered that the power steering hose on my iroc has been damaged. looks like it has hit the pulley or belt at some point and has a gash in it. I'm thining of replacing it with stainless steel braided hose, but I need to know what the fittings are on the ends. It is the one that goes from the pump to the steering box.

The current routing means the pipe goes forward from the pump and curves round to the steering box. I presume this routing is for the stock manifold, but with the headers I could go the shorter route?

Below is a picture of the two fittings that I need to know the sizes of. I think they look like 3/8" NPT but I need to know for sure so I can get the bits ordered/made up.

Thanks for any help,

Si.

 

This time with the picture.....

 

They are some kind of O-ring fitting. Definitely not pipe thread.

You can buy the whole hose in parts stores here, for not too much money.

Somebody; either Earl's, or Aeroquip, or Russell, offers a few of those oddball PS fittings, as adapters to make braided stainless hose out of. I don't know if they have these particular ones.
