     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.
