All, several years ago I remember purchasing a reproduction power steering pressure hose for a 70 ebody with a Hemi and federal pump. This reproduction hose resembled the original factory hose with the correct bends that connected to the 90 degree fitting on the steering box. Does anyone know if someone is still producing this hose? Does anyone have this hose that they are willing to sell?
If not, would a different hose resemble the original hose used on a hemi? For example, would a 340 hose look similar? Any recommendations? The aftermarket hoses look nothing like the factory hoses. Input is greatly appreciated.
Welcome ot the site.
You're not alone in looking for a HEMI ps hose.
Several other members are looking for them too.

Here is one on e-bay for a '68 Hemi: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOPAR-NOS-1968-CHARGER-ROAD-RUNNER-GTX-426-HEMI-POWER-STEERING-P-S-HOSE-2537980/363237710519
Buy-it-now for $2,500.00 :notsure:
It was my understanding a B-Body hose on the hemi was different than the hose on the E-Body hemi. Can anyone confirm this?
It is my understanding that they are the same with maybe minor differences at the fittings.
My knowledge on hemi's is VERY small so i can not say that it is but i understand that both used the federal with the cooler and i have purchased several replacements all of which don't work.
I have some pictures of how it mounts to the pump. I can try and get some of how it goes to the gearbox later this week.
I would be happy to loan it out over a winter to someone if they are able to remake one. Someone out there has got to I imagine.
Although it is hard to tell from those photos, it's hard for me to see the resemblance in your hose to the Hemi hose. The bend in the tubing on the pump side seems to be much different. Here is a photo of a 340 hose that closely resembles the Hemi hose. It is the closest looking NOS hose I have seen.
Here are some pics that a member (Pasi) took for me. Its of a reproduction HEMI hose that Megaparts used to sell.
I have never been so excited to see a re-production part :)
Someone has to have one of these laying around that they want to sell. If not, perhaps someone would allow me to borrow this hose? I would be willing to try and get it made locally for any members that needed one. There are several custom hose/hydraulic shops around here. I would think I could get someone to produce it for me.

I can try and see if it's a stock hose. Again I have no idea if its 100% correct but I do know that I have not had any success finding a replacement. I confirmed the pump, pulley, and cooler are stock and fall with in a good range for the production of the car. Based on that Ii have a pretty reasonable case that its the stock hose but again I don't 100% know. Let me see if I can get to her and get some better photos.
I'm also willing to lend it out to someone to build one for a few months if that helps the cause.
OK I took more photos. Its in the 50's today!
Heres a 71... Both this one and the 68 in my previous post have the really short 90 degree turn at the P/S box... Which connects to a 90 degree fitting that is threaded into the box..
I wonder if this place could make them...

I found this picture in an old for sale ad on FBBO.
The name on the card looks to be the owner of Erin Industries.

Really good detective work.... :cheers:
here's Steve & his HEMI GTX convertible from MCACN a couple years ago 8)
Steve Atwell to my understanding sold the MSE business to Kevin Coddington a number of years ago. Not sure how active the business is at this current time. When Steve had the business, Year One was selling a lots of the product line.

i did get a reply from the Vendor who was making it. they no longer make the correct hose.
Did you talk to Steve at Erin Industries?
If anyone is interested in getting one of these, I just spoke to Steve Atwell at Erin Industries. They are the supplier that used to make these for Mega Parts. He is going to do a run of 25 or so hoses...so if you want one, call him and let him know.
