[V8] Merry Christmas

[Dave Saad]

I just had mine rebuilt.  I didn't even look for OEM -assuming that either they were $800 each and or NLA.
I had them use high temp hose after I found a previously rebuilt main supply hose broke due to the under hood heat turning it to glass.  It was cheap, but it would be wise to inspect them regularly since the OEM hose is a lot different that what I can find aftermarket - meaning that the OEM stuff has a hard inner part and everything else is some rubber compound.
