Black power steering hose? - Lateral-g Forums

I'm getting ready to make new power steering lines for my DSE rack.....with my old set up I used the Aeroquip high pressure power steering hose but have always hated the fact that its blue.... the rest of my lines are black, so it sticks out like sore thumb...

Does anyone know of a good "cut to fit and add non-crimp ends" PS hose that comes in black?

All I can find is the silver braided stainless stuff....which once again wont match ANY of my other lines in the car....

I looked when I made mine and couldn't find any. I finally decided that it wasn't that big a deal to have steel. Taping off the ends and giving it the krylon touch really wouldn't be a bad option either.

we put heat shrink tube over braided Teflon on a lot of power steering and fuel line applications and seems to work well.

Since its a cloth like material on the outside, I though about getting some black carpet dye spray cans.....

[YOUUBE][/YOUTUBE]I've been looking for black braided hose also......that link hose looks like oe rubber hose. It would work but have to have end crimped o unless I'm missing something.

Ned on the high pressure side, as already mentioned you would want 1400-1500 PSI minimum

You can get lines made to length at any hydraulic service shop and they will also have 90 or 45 degree fittings, etc to make an assembly that fits exactly how you want it.

It's not as expensive and troublesome as it sounds....Hydraulic lines get munched on a daily basis in the construction/agriculture biz and these guys know how to make up hoses.
