FW: [Chrysler300] p/s high pressure hose

Pipe insulation, at least here in Australia, comes as rubber foam, the same
material as the original hose protector.  Don't use the plastic stuff.

If it is to close to the exhaust manifold it will melt. I tried using pipe
insulation on the low side muffler in my 66 Imperial and the side closest to
the manifold melted some.

I put black foam rubber pipe insulation on a steel pipe from my air
conditioner compressor on my (Australian)Valiant as it is exposed to
radiator heat - reducing its effectiveness. I used contact cement to join
the slit side. There is no reason why you couldn't do the same for a power
steering hose protector. Just put the slit on the underside so it doesn't
show. Pipe insulation is easy to get and it has survived 10 or so years so
far.

Cheers

Regarding the foam sleeve for the high pressure power steering hose, I just
changed mine and found a foam substitute from a very unlikely source, your
local pool supply place. It's called a "sweep hose scrubber" and slides
onto the end of the pool sweep hose. It is a round, black foam piece about
2 inches long with a hole on the middle that you slide over the PS hose pump
fitting and then down to the position you want it to be. they cost about
$3.00, it is a Polaris pool sweep replacement part. It is not a dense foam,
somewhat larger cell structure than pipe insulation foam, but it fits great
and looks good (at least I think so). I would think pipe insulation would
also work, but I have not been able to find it un-slit anywhere.

Hi Dave,

I put new steering hoses on my J this spring. The factory correct h/p hose
with the foam sleeve is no longer available; not even through Goers. But
hoses that work and fit and look OK are readily available through your
favorite auto parts store. I got mine at O'Reilly, Powercraft #70329 (made
by Edelmann) for $23. Gates part # is 352700. I think NAPA part # is 7829
and the price should be about the same. '64 K uses the same steering hoses.

Finally, found the exact leak on power steering hose. With wheels turned,
and 413 idling, the H/P- was just a streaming onto every thing!

Outside of getting a NAPA redo, is there a source that may have new units?
What a mess..

Thanks, cleaning up in Va.
