[Chevelle-list] 71 SS Power steering pump brackets and American Racing Wheels.

[John Nasta]

The return hose is just a piece of hose. You can get the pressure hose  
from any local parts store but it will not be bent the same way as OEM  
and you will have to modify the end that connects to the steering box,  
unless it is going to be a show car, in which case I think the people  
here could point you to a match for OEM.

What size tires are you running and on what year Chevelle?
