    You should be looking for some one who can make you a new hose, many shops that do hoses or hydralics should be able to help you. Just remove the old hose complete bring it with you so they can get the right fittings, length, etc.. Given the age of your old hose the chances are that it has begun to collapse internally, been there done that. Lou Cote

    Are you refering to the steel line or the flexible rubber hose with reinforcement and metal fitting at the ends? As a prior post stated, having a hose(flexible) made is fairly easy, I had one made this summer for $19. An auto parts house could order it for $17 but I would have to wait a couple of days. Good luck, Bob

    Thanks for the help. I tried the auto parts places and machinery dealers

    also but they all said my ends were to small. I thought there might be someone that found a replacement that they used.I am sure that our

    54 Hornet is not the only car left that is using a Bendix Treadle vac power

    Duncan call up Edmonton Brake and Clutch they will make your hoses they made mine no problem. They also made new hoses for my oil filter. Just took in the old ones.
