Could not find the tag on my Z-25 motor and 1) Could not get the right part or get it in time for the weekend. The part is a high pressure hose (3/8) for the power steering on my Z-25. I went the route of having the ends saved and hooked up with high pressure knurled fittings and stainless steel braided hose. Should these suffice? The machine shop manufacturing them said they would be aces.
2) The outdrive has excessive slop regarding turns. The big flat head screw deal at the bottom looks like it should be tightened and the turning (diamond shaped thing) at the top has worn the aluminum on the top. Sorry for the lack of knowledge regarding parts, I am a car guy. What do I need to do? Replace that big ring shaped aluminum piece or is there a quick fix??
