By looking at Rock Auto it seems 1980 was the first year for metric hoses.

What would one use to adapt from newer style power steering pump to old hoses?
Anyone got a quick and easy link?

The guys from oreillys here have a hydralic hose maker in the back and said they could take two hoses and make one but luckily mine was communist fittings on both ends.so I didn't need it done.
