pump to rack hose (Type 44)

[DAK]

James,
The noise on the hose is just not there! The guy (Dick) was able to
retain the resonator. I think it is at least as quiet as before. The
original ends were used. New crimps and rubber were used. The new hose
is rated to 4800 PSI. (Much higher than the 2000 PSI working pressure of
the system). I can e-mail you pictures. If you have a speedy connection,
they won't be a problem.
