  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    ok so this isnt a wrenchin secret more of an 'emergency how to get y'self rolling again'...

    Today my Hi pressure hose on my 55 roadmaster blew while i was headin out on a cruise..

    I figured i was screwed as the only store in the vicinity was one of those D.I.Y home stores...I checked out if i could fix it..
    the hose had split (as they often do) at the union where the Big hose from the PS pump drops down to the smaller bore hose....
    i figured it couldnt hurt so i cut the union out to see the pipe sizes......
    well i realised it was mebbe 13mm pipe dropping down to like 5mm er some (the tech ppl here will kno the exact dimensions)
    I headed out to the DIY store and 'sweet talked a coupla pieces of copper tubing...(the sort they use on heating boilers etc..a piece of 13mm and a piece of Micro-bore)
    anyhoo they fit into the hydraulic hose sweet... so i bought a gas blow torch and some solder and used some pliers to crimp the larger bore pipe onto the smaller pipe...then soldered it all up... fitted it up with a coupla Jubille clips..(filled it up with the Auto Trans fluid i always carry..the joys of a leaky dynaflow)
    and bobs yer grandma's lover...
    didnt leak and was sweet the 4miles er so to get my sorry butt home..
    all in cost me bout 8 bucks... which is a damn sight cheaper than damage driving without Power steering in operation can cause...

    Heck, I tried to copy it with cut and paste but I'm no good at this and it didn't work.

    I'm not afraid to say it, (it wouldn't be the first time I ruffled some feathers here with politically incorrect statements), it expresses my thoughts exactly. Damn, I did it again:spank:

    Oh no, here we go!:Brow:
