If anyone can tell me where I can get the plastic lens for the marker light behind the doors I would greatly appreciate it. went to the local packard parts dealer and he said nobody makes them anymore. The two I have now are all pieced together with epoxy.

I would like to thank everyone for their advice with the problem I was having with my power steering hoses, I did as everyone suggested and had the high pressure hoses made up, (with the restricter) and it worked out perfectly. Cost was $80.00. That was alot better than the price quoted from a local Packard parts supplier in my area which was $200.00. Again thanks from a die-hard 1955 400 Packard owner.

Hey Big Kev,

I am all new to this and don't know where to ask questions about my 1955 Packard 400. The question I have is about the high pressure hose for the power steering pump. It is dry rotted and I have to replace it with a new one. When I removed the hose I noticed that it has 2 different size hoses. My question is, When I change the hose is it going to make a difference in the way it steers being that the restricter hose is no longer there. Thanks for your help involving the above matter.

Sincerely,

Al Nowak
