Just one Caveat, don't let them remove the fittings unless
their position is well marked. I had a power steering hose
made up for my Chevy Opala (not a mistype), but the shop
removed the fittings from the old hose without marking
their positions, took 2 subsequent hose fabrications
to get the thing to fit.
