Ram assist power steering hose rebuild?
I am restoring my 67's ram steering assist. i have it all done and now i get to the hoses. i have new omega hoses. they will work but don't fit into the original locations where the brackets hold them in place. I have been told by a local hose fabricator that the originals are not rebuildable. I would like to know if anyone out has had theirs rebuilt or knows of a place that can do this for me.picture below but shows the hoses im talking about. mostly just need the ram to cylender hoses restored. Rod.

Might want to rebuild your control valve while your at it. It was simple like he said above corvett had the same set up.

Re: Ram assist power steering hose rebuild?
the pump and valve are new restored and the ram was rebuit all professionally. i just would like to have the hoses routed correctly between the valve and ram and they dont make them aftermarket . i even have new correct hoses from the pump to the valve. just need the 2 between the ram and the valve as shown in the pic.

Re: Ram assist power steering hose rebuild?
the pics i posted were before i had the parts restored. the corvette hoses have different bends in the metal lines than the truck. the corvettee hoses i believe will work but they wont line up with the bracket that holds the line steady and clear of the A arm and without that it will rub on the A arm. sorry for the confusion.

Re: Ram assist power steering hose rebuild?
here are current pictures and this is why i want my originals rehosed. you can see on the omega hoses the hoses will not line up with the mounting bracket. they just hang out there. and one has a shorter rubber hose than the other. last pic is of my originals. would have the ends replated before rehosing for show too.
