We were not happy with any of the current pressure steering hoses on the market. We wanted one that didn't leak or crack, was flexible enough to bend in a U, looked nice, and was lightweight. Goal Achieved! The nuts are steel so they won't leak or crack. The hose is very flexible and won't kink. It has a stylish smooth black braid. Weighs around a quarter of a pound. 14" Steering Hose
