Hydraulic hose woes--again

others have reported rebuild costs in the $20-$30 range."

Hi,
I tried to find a place that would rebuild hoses for me.  The one shop I
could find here in Columbus that advertised doing this type of work, said
they couldn't do this type of hose ... when I walked in and showed them the
hose.  I ended up buying a new hose from TPC ... a new OEM rack to pump
hose for $70 in 1999, for my '89 200.
YMMV
