   On my Malibu, I couldn't get a line with a fitting that would fit into the   
   pwr steering box, so I machined my own adapter from a brass fitting. I'll   
   probably never have to replace that line in this lifetime, but the next   
   owner might. He'll have fun with that line.

   8^) I had to stop in the ice and sleet (December) to change a flat tire on   
   the first evening of our honeymoon. Suit, fresh shined shoes, no coat and   
   no gloves. Believe it or not, you sweat even while working in the cold.
