I guess this one has been here before. Looking at the old posts helps some but most are missing the original photos that were in the post. Since my pressure hose has a slot being cut in its side by the valve moving back and forth, it will have to go. Some PO adapted a hydraulic hose from "something" from the P/S pump to the valve with adapters and simply cut a length of hose for the return line and clamped it to s stub of a tube into the valve. These are routed up and around the top of the regulator on the apron and to the pump. There is no "spring sling" attached to the steering box so I'm lost as to how they should be installed once I get new ones from SI. No mention of the correct place for them in the repair manual, I guess the assumption was to just put new ones in the same place as the old ones were. Any photos of the correct routing that doesn't lead to chafing the hoses would be appreciated, especially from the top side looking at the apron and pump so I can see how the control arm misses them and how they transition to the bottom of the frame rail for the valve .

One more thing to watch for, the LP hose was a bit too long and rubbed up against something warm (Exhaust?) It burned through the hose and I lost all my fluid.63 Avanti R1 2788

Fred,
I didnt realize you had a thread going on this. I do not have access to pictures posted
by others, I can however take pictures you need and post them. You can very carefully
describe what you need or take pictures of where you need, and I will match them. Car
is currently up in the air, now is a good time to do this. I will be putting it back on the
ground tomorrow (Friday).

This is how the manual shows and how the car was originally when I received it, granted
someone may have rerouted them at some point, but it seems to match the book.

Thanks ,
Thanks to Tom and Mike Mudd from 2002, I am able to get the hoses installed at the control valve in a way it was probably meant to be. As you can see from my photo I had little to work with. Just one more question, not wishing to be a pain or sounding dumb, which port on the power "slave" cylinder is right turn (top or bottom). I can tell the right hoses to get there, but since my "originals" look nothing like the replacements (though they fit perfectly at the valve with no tweaking necessary) and are labeled well, which goes where at the slave.

Fred,
The inner hose on the control valve closest to the starter goes to the top port on the power ram.
