Most accurate p/s return hose
« on: April 27, 2021, 10:55:46 PM »
In conversation with Blue Dot they mentioned we should just use NAPA hose for the 5 ft of return hose on the 67 Shelby power steering system. I didn't put this in the Shelby area since other years may use bulk hose on the return.

Is that what others use or is there something more accurate?

Napa some years ago used to have a nice alternative but the hose i have seen in the last couple years had the weave texture that can be seen in the rubber or it had a coarse friction tape looking like covering.I buy when I see it at swap meets etc.

The original stuff looks to be very smooth.

Yes, with no discernable texture of any kind.

I don't know about "most accurate" but I have been using the hose sold by Mansfield Mustang.
