You can also do this for the brake hoses. I know that it is not OEM, but you can get SS covered brake hoses made using the original fittings for about $30 each.

They tend to expand less than the rubber ones giving better braking and are pretty much abrasion proof.

When my power steering hose blew I had a lot of trouble finding a replacement.  Finally I took the old hose to a local hydraulic shop and asked if they could duplicate it.  They did.  It's certainly not original but it works and only cost me $35.  Took them about 10 minutes to put it together.

Does anyone know of a source for a suitable hose use in a power steering cooler application for a 1966 Imperial?  While I can find ?short lengths? of reinforced return hose (between the steering box and pump), they are not long enough to reach or return from the cooler. 

 

Thanks
