I had to replace the auto transmission on this vehicle. Dropped cradle replaced transmission upon re-installing cradle I fetched up on the gear to cooler power steering line and created a leak. Problem I have is this Ford no longer has these lines available. Maine winters road salt has caused a lot of rust to these lines which I am replacing. I have located 2 of the three lines except the one that is leaking ( go figure ) whats an alternative?

Check in your area there is probably a place that will make one up for you. Maybe ahydraulic repair facility. If it is the return hose then you shold be able to make one up from auto parts store stock. It would have clamps on both ends as it is low pressure.
