Power Steering pump

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Running any pump dry will harm it. The rack is only the slave and you should
have no problem here. That hose is just that a hose. If the normal sources
don't have it take it to the FLAPS that makes hydraulic hose. They should be
able to reuse your fittings to make something that will work.

Good luck,

Rick Alexander
