[s-cars] PS hose needed

[Joshua van Tol]

Another trick to keep the crush washers in place is to use a rubber  
band or twist tie to kind of loosely hold the hose + banjo + washer  
assembly together. Then, once the banjo is started, remove the band  
or tie. In the case of a rubber band, simply break it.
