relocating trim pumps
 

Im relocating the trim pumps and k plane pumps from the transom to the forward bulkhead in the engine bay.

That means 8 hoses I will have to replace. My thought was to take the old ones to the local auto store that builds hyd hoses and tell them what length I need.

Does anyone know of a company that does this regularly that I can call and specify the length and they are familiar with the fittings thats required? Thanks

There is a place in Kansas City MO. called tompkins industries 816 483 1004 dont know if they are just local or a nation wide company they can custom make any hyd. hose. had some made for a 69 chevy 4x4 made them cheaper than autozone charged me for the ones that didnt fit might be worth a phone call

Most any good Aeroquip shop can make them for you.
For instance, my local Aeroquip can't do it but their home office in another town can.
They are Identical to the original hoses.
Be sure and mock them up carefully so that the elbow orientation on the ends are correct. Putting a twist in them to make them fit is less than cool.

I had a set of K-plane hoses made by a place in Greensboro,NC. The had all of the parts in stock and in stainless steel. Jeff Wurl

He made me up some new hyd hoses with the S/S ends. Excellant service and price.

I tried some local Hyd shops before hand, and none could make them since they are smaller than what they regularly do.

Thanks guys, thats exactly the info I was looking for.
