[V8] Hydraulic hose from Reservoir to PS pump

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

Your best bet is to get the real OEM parts for this. If you happen to find the
right size (unlikely from my experience) then you will still probably have the
wrong material - and they will soon disolve and leak.
Home Despot o-rings are buna-n material, not metric, and low pressure at that.
I think the proper seals are Viton or something similar.
They are usually green or brown color.
If you are determined to try to find them second source, go to a heavy equipment
supply shop. They will at least have seals rated for hydraulic oil.
Give them all the specs you can for the oil and usage.
