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.
