Braided power steering lines One of my power steering lines got slit and I want to replace with braided lines. Does anyone sell a kit? I'm slowly going to convert all the lines because I like the look.
Thanks guys

I like the look of braided lines too but you can't see power steering lines unless you are under the car.
AFAIK nobody makes braided for power steering unless you go custom. You will have a lot easier time finding the hard line versions. Google, rockauto and nalleygmc are your friend.
There is a small discussion here on use of braided in lieu of hard line. This is on brakes but we're talking about a hydraulic system either way.

Whatever you get make absolutely sure they are rated for (very) high pressure (IIRC the power steering line operates around ~700-800psi). For safety's sake I went with OEM hose and fittings when I accidentally bent and kinked one of the fittings.
