[s-cars] Urgent-High Pressure J Hose needed

[Tom Green]

Manny,

A local shop may be able to a satisfactory job.  Since the crimps are  
not re-useable, they have to cut them off and braise new ends for the
replacement hose.  You will have to make sure the orientation of the  
ends remains the same and the length does not change.  Otherwise,
you will have to twist and bend the hose to fit it in place, if even  
possible, and will have a stress on the hose.   You will want to slip  
the
insulator on the new hose before the ends are installed, hopefully  
with all the oil removed.

The HOH solution is to braise a coupling that can swivel at each hose  
connection.  They just remove the restrictor from the hose section and
braise it in one end.  The replacement hose is probably not exactly  
the same inside diameter and so won't hold the restrictor on the plastic
tube in place.
