Leaking Hydralic pump hose... source for hoses??????????????

Best bet is to check the Yellow Pages for "hose" heading, and sub heading 
"Hydraulic."
Some local listers had good luck with a Denver hydraulic specialty shop. On 
their recommendation, I went there with hose in hand only to be summarily 
dismissed with "nope, can't help you." I have tried on 2 other occasions to 
get to someone other than him behind the counter, only to be intercepted, and 
foiled again. I ended up buying used units from Marcin in Canada, at a good 
price, and they worked out great. Thanks Marcin!
Over the phone, people find it easy to say no, so sometimes a face to face is 
worth the trip.
Try to qualify who you're talking with. Namely not some task oriented 
laborer, who wants to get to the bar for FAC! Seek out a craftsman whenever 
possible for any parts or repairs. Personal automotive relationships, and 
maintenance thereof, are invaluable to car ownership.
