I got onto Ford UK and the only hose I could get was the main one from the pump to the rack (the only one that wasn't leaking BTW
). As I was changing every rubber hose out it came, heres the old and new ...
With the metal pipe it was blasted, zinc primed and engine enamaled. I got new hoses from a hydraulic hose specialist and reswaged them on (trying to look standard ... I know the 'ears' are to large but oh well
) ...
and how sad is this: I even removed and polished the Ford identification plate to put on the hose
) ...
Here's the pump cleaned up (surface rust was disolved with rust eating acid), painted and with it's replacement hose (check out that clamp
) ...
Heres a box o' bits ready to go ...
and the hoses in place (note the ID plates
) ...
... that is now all rubber hoses replaced and metal items sprayed in the PAS system
(reservoir and fluid yet to go).
I've sprayed all the brackets ... I just need to find one replacement saddle clamp rubber for the cooler pipe as the leaking fluid had disolved it
Can anyone help?
