I've had a significant powersteering leak from my inability to seal the high pressure aqp braided fittings.

I decided to take off the fabbed stuff and get a hydraulic shop to make a new hose. They quoted $200 and I was ok with that. I gritted my teeth but I didn't want a fire.

I thought about it and since I'm using the GM Type 2 pump, I was sure that there has to be a hose that does what I wanted.

The pump has an 16mm O ring style fitting on the output, and thats fine with me. I went to the parts house and looked around for a few minutes. I picked a hose that looked identical to what I asked the shop to build. From a 95 Chevy Astrovan. It's 3/8" tube with an 18mm o ring seal. I'm going to get the end cut off, and flared to -6AN 37* to mate up to the -6AN fitting from Firm Feel on my steering box.

A local shop will fix the hose for about $10. I'll be $30 in by the time its sealed up.
