Hello everybody,

     I have a 1955 Ford Crown Victoria.  The low pressure and high peessure hoses both were leaking so I replaced them with new hoses.  

    The hoses no longer leak but I have one of the hoses that leak at the banjo fitting that is used to attach the hose to the pump.  There was a crush copper washer on each side of the banjo bolt so I reinstalled them when I put the new hoses on. 

    Apparently the old washer are flattened out to much.  The problem is that I can not locate and copper washers that are the proper size. 

     Does any body know know where I can order these washer.  I have searched all over town.  All the auto part stores  Ace hardware etc to no avail.

     Please Help!!  I think what would be the best washer would be a crush washer.  But when I ask people around here they don't even know what a crush washer is.

The Ford part # on those is 359781-S quantity needed 2.Tee-Bird.com has them for $2.50 each.The fitting that the bolt screws into also has a washer(seal) part # 33618 $1.25 if you do order from Tee-Bird I would order that also.I would also recommend buying one of their Catalogs.Invaluable and surprising how much is available now for these cars.Website teebird.com.Order phone # 1-800-423-3723 information only 1-610-363-1725

  

Mark,

   Thank you for the part #'s for the steering pump washers and O ring.  I was able to locate part # 33618.  But I would not locate 359781-S in the catalog.  Help me please.

Thanks,

Ray

PS I am going to get this car on the road someday without it leaking!!!
