How to make steering oil pipe for 240?
Hello,
I'm English, in France. A mechanic friend asked if I could track down a steering system oilpipe, Volvo part number 1330232, for a LHD 240.. Skandix shows the part as discontinued https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...ystem/1055580/ and other searches have drawn a blank. I asked why he did not simply fabricate a suitable pipe, as one would do for brake pipes. He explained that the ends were different from normal brake pipe ends and he did not have the gear for making such pipe ends. I'd be grateful for any help or advice. Is there anywhere to get such pipes made? Are tools for making the special ends available anywhere? Is there any reference that gives the details of the ends of such a pipe? Many thanks for any information or suggestions. Martin |

Hello Martin,
If you can find the French equivalent of PIRTEK or a similar hydraulic pipe repair firm, or a heavy plant and machinery servicing company, they can probably supply the appropriate unions and possibly even fabricate a new pipe using the original one as a pattern.

Second vote for using a hydraulic shop/supplier:~
I've had quite a few lines made up for classic cars via the above- some have reused ends if difficult to match... never been let down yet. All sorts of alternatives exist so it's worth asking. Parker Hydraulics are good: Preston based & online. Bob. |

I have a company that make RHD pipes for me. If you could send your pipes I could get them made. They need to come off without being bent
