On some thread some time ago. Somebody pointed out that there is a restrictor collet in the hose assy from Chrysler. I'm not certain if that's what you mean by "reducer", but you can look in the Archives on the site if that's a concern. Based on that, I'd suggest caution if your PS system does not behave properly upon installation of a custom hose. The PS boxes were the same almost forever, and hoses are available where I am so far as I know - I did a '62 recently.... I can give out my part's man's email address off-list if you'd prefer to try again for the real deal by mail (presuming that you can't source it locally). -Kenyon --- Tom Scott <shelbyguy@xxxxxxx> wrote: > I spoke with Colliflower several times today and > sent them pictures of my original AutoPilot power > steering hose.
