    power cylinder

    hi i need help identify my power cylinder 1959 352fe
    i need to buy new hoses for it and according to my tbird hqs catalog they should be 1/4 but they measure bigger than a 1/4 bolt more like 5/16?

    i then need to buy a seal kit for it it has a 2" outer body,, and the end where the rod slides is kinda got a large nut with grip nurles around it. On the same end of the cylinder the end cap is held on with 3 allen key screws...

    The ram looks much like the one on ebay but has the different end 250106544762

    I had one of those ram cylinders on my Golde Top when I bought it. The standard rebuild kits do not fit it. I had an added problem as the knurled screw-on end was cracked.

    I do not know the origin of that power steering ram cylinder. It may have been an aftermarket replacement. It was the first one I had seen of that type.

    I would up getting a rebuilt ram cylinder of the original design.
