1987 thru 1992 Cadillac Allante’s and perhaps '89-'90 Chrysler New Yorkers used a Bosch ABS system. The motor-driven pump was connected to the control unit by two rubber brake lines. The high-pressure line has unique fittings swedged on the ends of the hose. Can any of you guys access GM, Chrysler or Bosch part numbers for these hoses? Or even better, a source for them? Finding a replacement high-pressure hose is proving difficult… ---

The local CarQuest store makes replacement hydraulic hoses. You just bring in the old one and they reproduce it for you. Check in your area for a store that provides this service. Tester ---

The local NAPA and O’Reillys stores here make up hydraulic hoses too. ---

Hydraulic hoses are one thing, P.S. hoses, snow plow hoses, oil coolers, stuff like that…But brake lines are made from different material and use unique fittings…But it’s worth a try! I’ll give the local parts stores a call and see if they can make up rubber flex-lines…I’ll let you know how I make out…Thanks…
