Power steering low pressure hose

[Alan_M]

Had a narrow escape. Checking for source of an oil leak I spotted this. It had been rubbing against the cam sprocket. It seems the clips that should have been holding away from the cam sprocket were missing. A previous owner/garage had just tie wrapped it, but obviously not very well.

It is marked aeroquip and has a metal ring with original Lotus part number - is this a standard aeroquip hose that I might be able to purchase locally?
Also has anyone sourced replacement clips - they all appear to be the same for the heater hose and all are broken on mine.

Take it off and get a local hydraulics outfit to duplicate.

I agree, but perhaps just get them to put a swivel joint in the existing pipe. They'll probably be best to fit a swivel if they make a replacement, rather than try and get the alignment spot on, so might as well just do it to this one.

Thanks for replies. This hose has no fittings, just push fit with jubilee clips on both ends. So nothing needs to be made. I just need to get a length of the correct type of hose with correct internal diameter. There are some numbers printed on the hose, just too faded to read.
I have found a Pirtek not that far from me, so will see if they stock the same type of hose.

The hose you require is available from SJ Sportscars at reasonable cost and is a genuine Lotus part.
