Re: IML: 1960 Crown - Power Steering pump hoses



Hey Jim -

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.
Jim Brown
