Re: [Chrysler300] P/S Hose





The problem isn’t really the length of the hose going over the ram.  The problem is the end fittings shape/bends.  We need a set of correct fittings for ram cars in order to have them replicated.

can't you take the hose to NAPA and have them use your end fittings and simply make it long enough to go over the river and through the woods? The Belfast NAPA is in the business of making hydraulic hoses.  Unless there's some special part in an F/G PS hose, it seems like it could be done locally.

 
We missed most of the worst snow here on the mid-coast of Maine--so we only have 2-3 feet, with higher drifts.  And it's colder than a mother-in-law's kiss.  But, it has always melted before--every time, and I'm betting that's what'll happen this year too.

That’s kinda what I thougt all along, Ron.

My hose is in there and it works but the only way was to snake it around alongside and under the carb/ram and up around/near the brake tube from the M/C and finally almost a 180 degree bend in the hose near the end where it goes into the sector.

Not real proud of that side of the whole shebang appearance wise that is.

How’s it going out w/you folks in New England what w/all the white crap??

One mistake that's easy to make (and I have personal experience) is that all is quiet and peaceful under the hood when you are working out the routing for the hose, but that changes when you fire it up. My car is a C, but the challenge may be similar on your later Letter Cars. I didn't count on the torquing and vibration of the engine - and consequently the PS hose - when I ran the engine. The hose was pressing ever so slightly up against the edge of the battery tray, and the tray had no problem at all cutting through the hose before I had 100 miles on it. SSPPPTTTT !!! all over everything!

My hose works OK also, but it fits like crap.

That’s what I was afraid of.

Of all the hoses for 1960 w/Chrysler part #’s, none cross over to NAPA #’s in my ’85 NAPA/Chrysler master interchange book.

I have purchased a few from Rock Auto. They aren't restoration replicas, but for a driver, they work fine.
