Hi Alan I replaced my P/S lines in my syncro a few months back with high pressure hydraulic hose. A local hose & fitting shop used my original threaded fittings to a new hose. Two bonus's here, a whole lot cheaper than new steel lines and a whole lot easier to install. Cost me all of 75.00 Cdn. Note, you only need one high pressure line, the return line can be a good thick walled hose. Also you might want to check out the web site of Frank Condelli, who is offering these replacement hoses. http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hose.html alan bosch wrote: > > Volks, > Pulled Phred up on the ramp today to change the oil and filter and do a > little sight-seeing under the engine.
