1650 Oil Leak

1970-1655

Back in February I posted aboil oil running out of the left battery box. I thought it was the brake shaft seal. I waited until weather got warmer and got another project finished. Started it up today and the oil is running out of the battery box so I pulled the battery and floor plates. There is a steel and rubber line that connects to the steering and a valve back behind the driver's left foot. It has a nice hole in it and spraying on the battery. Now the fun of adapters and stack of fittings to improvise. I had a different steering hose blow out a few years ago and nobody can make one like the original.

Your hose shop should be able to salvage your ends and just add extra hose length to make up the difference. Not all hose shops are the same. Find a good one with lots of inventory. I have repaired my steering hoses coming off the Charrlynn this way.
 
Don't know about elsewhere but here a hose shop wants to sell all new due to liability concerns. No splicing old material in.
 
You don't have to have them splice it, just get a hose made with the right size compression fittings. Take it home and put the ends on and it's nothing to them.
 
I recently had the steering lines under the dash on my 1650 redone. The hose shop had some stock fittings to match, otherwise they took the originals and soldered them onto fittings and new rubber hoses. Look good and fit well given how odd some of those lines are. In other words, a good hose shop should be able to craft a hose close to what you had with the old steel ends.
