Jack's Comments:

This is the latest Concours reproduction of the high pressure hose that connects to the back of the power steering pump and then routs down to the C8ZA-3494-A hose at insulator. It has the unique double crimped fitting used during 1969-70 production, yellow zinc plating and die stamped engineering number XC9ZX-3A719-I.

This hose cost a lot more than a regular service hose but its the only one on the market that fit, function and look just like factory hose. 

Plating Notes:
The correct finish for the hose fittings is yellow zinc dichromate. Take a look at the hose fittings in the pictures below found on a 700 mile survivor Ed Meyer Ed Meyer found and we documented. They look like they are zinc plated but the original yellow dichromate conversion coating applied over the zinc plating has almost completely faded. This is very common with yellow zinc dichromate parts this old.

Q: What make this hose not exactly like a production hose?
A: Doesn't have the tiny FORD oval logo stamped next to the engineering number. Crimp pattern and depth slightly different.
