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.
