Paul W. -----Original Message----- From: James Brown <jimmb1960@xxxxxxxxx> To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 2:50 pm Subject: IML: 1960 Crown - Power Steering pump hoses Vendors with online catalogs seem to be a little vague about the power steering hoses for older Imperials. Local vendors try to be helpful but they don't know. My question is:Where can I find a set of steering pump hoses for my 1960 Imperial Crown SH?
A rebuilt gear box and pump will be on their way later this month but no hose(s) yet.
Thanks for any info. Jim Brown marc boulanger <yeuxverts1@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Kenyon I will folloiw your advice and go for 15inch wheels. So I ll be looking for hubcaps. Marc B
