FYI on early power steering hose
A couple years ago the pressure hose from the regulator to the steering gear grenaded. This created a relatively non existant power sterring and a hell of a mess under the hood. I sourced that hose and got everything back in order.
Recently, I have decided to replace the other "pressure hose" from the p/s pump to the regulator in addition to the 3 reurn hoses. Probelem is if you have an E24 (US or Euro) with a production date upto 4/84, the pressure hose is NLA. Part# 32411128162. I have found a Gates hose for $67 from Rock Auto. Gates# 366139.
If you are pondering some preventative maint on your steering, might want to grab one of these while they are available.
Cheers,
George
