NB Miata power steering lines

Anybody know where I can buy a set?

DD#1's 1999 needs the whole set of PS hoses. They appear to be NLA from Mazda, or at the least on galactic backorder.

I tried FM's website but didn't see anything there. Does anybody have any knowledge?

Thanks!

Do you have a local shop that makes up lines?  

I got a set from the local O'reilly a couple of years ago.

The end of the pressure hose that goes on the pump is a wacky double-O-ring "banjo stud".  I don't know if it's a standard hydraulic fitting, but I've never seen one anywhere else.  At one point KA Injection sold an adapter to convert it to AN.

That said, looking at the mazda motorsports parts diagram, I think that hose is part # NC10-32-490J, which appears to be available.  (hard to tell for sure without actually ordering one).  These have something of a tendency to fail on track cars.

The line from the reservoir to the pump has no pressure in it, you can use off-the-shelf 5/8 (I think?) hose with clamps.  I'm not sure about the return hose to the reservoir.

Thanks for thinking of us, but I don't have any further suggestions beyond what you've already seen here. 

I might have to suggest to our R&D team that we look into it. 

The aftermarket usually has a decent selection of hydraulic hoses; I hate to state the obvious but did you check Rock Auto yet?

RA carries the pressure hose, but not the suction hose or the return, unfortunately.  They have Gates and Sunsong brands.

Return hoses have no meaningful pressure on them and should be easy to rig up a solution for, if your local hydraulics shop can make fittings to give you a barbed end that you can clamp a generic sold-by-the-foot hose to which can be easily replaced when it wears out, that could be a good long-term solution to the availability issue. AT cooler hose or fuel hose should work for a line carrying ATF.

You don't even need ends, on an NB1 the return and suction lines are just held on with hose clamps.

Bringing this back up....

I found the pressure hose and the hose to the cooler. What size ID is the hose from the reservoir to cooler and can I use fuel line, brake vac hose or what?
