I replaced my lines with these, and couldn't be happier.  Easy to do, as I
just cut out the old.  These are flexible and can be ran very nicely.

Subject: Power steering lines

I am tracking down a leak in my power steering hoses. The leak is between
the compression fittings at the flexible lines and somewhere ahead of the
rear axle. It is definitely in the solid lines and I do not know what type
of line that offers the same factory size and strength to splice in. It
seems to be thicker gauge tubing then the usual off the shelf brake line
from the store. Also, I have pulled the steering pump and am wondering if a
gasket kit is available for it. It is in good shape and I would not mind
replacing gaskets now that the pump is out.
