       AND, the're still gonna rust again.  Mine will never rust or 
deteriorate in any way.  The hose in my kit, <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hose.htm">Vanagon Power Steering Lines</A> 
{http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hose.htm} is 4000 lb, industrial quality, steel braided and 
is easy to install.  Just snake it from front to back and connect the ends.  
Viola, done !
