[s-cars] Re; Hose to Rack Leaking

[Mike Claire]

Greg, that was probably me that Tom was referring to (the complainer).  I
had a lot of problems with the House of Hose rebuild, it was very noisy and
it was kind of like driving with a really loose ps belt - jerking and
groaning all the time.  They admitted they don't rebuild this hose often.
They worked with me to try to fix it (with a restrictor of some kind) - no
joy.  They cheerfully refunded my money and I bought a used hose from Force
5.  Works great.
