Shawn,
I replaced my power sterring hoses last fall with rubber hydralic hose. I
just took the old high pressure hose ends down to the local truck repair
shop...and he did some measuring...and odered the ends...I think they were
16mm...but not sure. When the ends came in, I took them home and checked
to see that they fit and did. Then he just used the special crimping tool
they have and installed them on the hydraulic hose. The other one is the
low pressure side so you just use good hose clamps to attach the hose to
the exisitng fittings you cut off the old metal tubes. Works slick and
cost me about $125 US for both hoses and fittings. Frank C. has them for
about 175-200US. His web site does tell the lengths you need.
