Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2006'55 update...
so I'm probably not going to deliberately burn it to the ground, anymore... but the car will try to if I drive it too far. P/S is working although with some non-stock hose routing. Would still like to get my hands on an original pressure hose if I could, I'm going to have to R&R the P/S pump anyway. It works fine but leaks even more than the one I took off. D'oh! I guess I will have to put a seal kit in it. Maybe I should do both since I know the other one works well. At least it is moving under its own power, again. Once I get a chance to drive it some more, I may have a Saginaw P/S setup for sale; I haven't driven it far/fast enough to see if I'm happy with the steering box I got from Lee, but it definitely works and is noticeably tighter than the one I took out. nate Since the car obviuosly isn't stock, why are you concerned with the stock routing of the hoses?

(3/4 inch is way more than the factory gave us) http://stude.com/hose.JPG > Because no matter how you run 'em, you can't possibly get 'em more than > 3/4" or so away from the exhaust.

I had mine apart 3 times to replace gaskets and it would start leaking again in short order. I finally checked the bottom of the tank with a straight edge and it was warped. A body hammer and 2x4 took care it and its been dry since. I had a rebuild kit for mine but the o-rings that go between the center section and each end were the wrong ones. I took them to a bushing and bearing place and matched them up. The lip seal on the front shaft was about the only part from that kit that was the correct part. It was a old stock kit I picked up at a swap meet made by "varco". Jeff in ND > get my hands on an original pressure hose if I could, I'm going to have > to R&R the P/S pump anyway.

I think most of it is coming from the reservoir, and I did make new gaskets from cork gasket paper and buttered them pretty good with permatex. ISTR selecting the better of the two reservoirs that I had for this, but it still leaks. I guess I need thicker gasket paper, but I don't know where to find it, thus I might as well just buy a kit, if I can find it. nate > If the leaking is coming from under the reservoir, make sure the bottom > of it is flat when you replace the gaskets under there.
