Re: IML: 1960 Crown - Power Steering pump hoses

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I have been happy with Atlas Obsolete. They recently moved from 
Temcula, but if you call the old number it says where to call now. 
Check them out. They are expensive. If money isn't a problem, they are 
fast and good. I haven't checked their catelog for hoses yet.

Subject: IML: 1960 Crown - Power Steering pump hoses



Vendors with online catalogs seem to be a little vague about the

 power steering hoses for older Imperials.

 

Local vendors try to be helpful but they don't know.

 

My question is:

 

Where can I find a set of steering pump hoses for my 1960 Imperial 
Crown SH?

 

A rebuilt gear box and pump will be on their way later this month but 
no hose(s) yet.

 

Thanks for any info.
