Tuscan mk1 power steering flexi hoses

[Dalamar]

My flexi hoses are starting to weep so I'd like to change them this year. Unfortunately, Motaclan aren't committing to restocking these so I may have to go to a local hydraulic hose repairer. Just so I know what spec I need can someone please confirm the specification? Are they:

1/4" BSP 90 degrees swept elbow female

to

1/4" banjo with M16 bolt

for both lines.




I've seen a power steering company sell hardline replacements for around £100. Has anyone fitted these? They look like they'd need some manipulation to fit into the cramped space available.

Hi Dalamar I have a new set of the 'TVR Tuscan Hose Kit Power Steering (TVR H0672)' sat in my garage for future use as mine are quite coroded, but not leaking yet.

There is a similar 3rd hose from the rack to the pump which I couldn't even find listed on Motaclan that I had to replace so made my own.

Specs for the rack hoses:
M14x1.5 banjo to 7/16-20 female 90deg elbow.

I initially tried Pirtek before I made my own but the 90deg elbows were alot more chunky than the factory ones so didn't work with the restricted space under the chassis and prices were alot more than Motaclan...

The earlier Cerberas had rigid tubing instead of flexis but I think they get in the way of oil pipes/tanks etc on Tuscans.

Thank you. That'll be helpful when I speak to the local shops. I'll keep pestering Motaclan too.
