Default Please suggest PS pressure hose ......

The problem is back!
After some trouble free months I have again a very big leak in the conection between the PS Pump and PS pressure hose. I imagine that the problem must be the same, a broken O ring and a fisure in the metal part of the hose.

I changed to a Turn One PS Pump which has worked great in the last Track days. But the hose that was replaced at the same time and is made by Edelman I believe has failed prematurely.

Please suggest a more reliable Presure hose and who sells them.

Thanks for the advise.
Roberto

By the way I need to fix this urgently because I have an event coming real soon!

I live in a largely farm community. I have also done repair on hydraulic equipment over the years. From that perspective, have you considered taking your old hose somewhere and having a new one made on the spot? Just takes a minute and saves the time it takes to special order and wait for delivery of a pre-fab hose. Just a suggestion since you're having trouble with the ones you're ordering anyway.

For fast relief, contact member Randy@DRM.

PS hose issues appear to be pretty common on the LTx C4s.
Doug Rippie Motorsports has a replacement that several people over
in AutoX & RR have spoken well about.

Perhaps post to that section for first-hand feedback.

Problem has been with the metal conector, the hose is well.
Thanks
