Hi all,
My friend RL Brezout (who has the splendid '61 Shriner convertible) has a lot of problem with his power steering system : after some miles or turns the steering box looses all the fluid through the bottom !
- The steering box has been replaced and then overhauled with new gaskets, o-rings etc..
- 4 pumps has been tested. The check valve has been adjusted a lot of time.
All with no or limited time effects .. Yesterday the steering box has spit all the fluid for the tenth time !!
So maybe ther's a problem with the high pressure hose. It has been replaced with a new one but seems that this new hose hasn't the right diameters . On my '57 the hose is a 2 diameters affair, a large at the pumm and a small at the box, the two are equally lenghts. It seems to me that '61 has the same hose. Could someone check and agree ?
Another question, what is the purpose of this 2 diameters hoses ? And do you think that it could be the problem ?
Thanks
