The tubbing bends are all "spot on" and the portion that passes through the rubber insulator are identical to NOS. You will not find these at your local auto parts store or the the "Mustang Discount" folks. Replaces Ford Part Numbers: C7OZ-3A719-A, C7OZ-3A719-C, C7OZ-3A713-A, C7OZ-3A713-C, C7OZ-3A713-D.
Please Note: We highly recommend upgrading to the large nut (5/16") control valve as the small nut (1/4") control valve posses a potential safety issue, thus the reason why Ford replaced it the following year. The small nut system was engineered dangerously close to the maximum psi tolerances of the crimp that holds the fitting on the tubing.
*NOTE for 1968 owners* We do not currently carry the Premium 1968 hoses that pass through the bracket next to the exhaust manifold. We highly recommend using the 1969 system that passes under the drivers side lower control arm. The 1968 hoses were prone to getting burnt when they came in contact with the exhaust manifold. This conversion requires that you buy the 1969 - 1970 power steering hose bracket that mounts to you frame stand. The 69 conversion is good for 67 owners as well but the 1967 Cougar uses a control valve with a smaller hose fitting so a 1967 owner would have to change the control valve as well as the hose bracket.
