The original mirrors are the best ever. Strong, and even has a 'hand hold' for the left hand while your driving with the glass down. They are also vertically oriented, which IMO is the most important feature.

@Raider L I found the hose and remembered to grab a pic
Its a Sunsong 3/8 "power steering reservoir hose" with synthetic rubber exterior and strong braid design. the hose cant be collapsed by me standing on it on a spot or pinching it, i can ony do so folding the hose in a spot which takes a lot of force. The stuff doesnt route tightly well,, because its so rigid and fluid reuturn pressures would easily keep it from those tight pinching runs, too, and the stuff is a interference fit over 3/8 tubing, like it takes some force, which is EXCELLENT in a situation where you spot repair a return line and you dont want it popping off easily. I still put a tiny flare and used 2 fuel injection clamps on each end, opposed eachother, but the situation i originally bought it for could have been done without flare in -20f or so and i am confident it would have held, as long as i got a fe inches onto the hose.
when i put the current ps pump on the square i went and put a filter on because frankly the pump was unknown and the last pump was full of small specs etcand so was fluid. Unfortuantely, the short run I tried to work in to add it was difficult to make because if the hose was routed sharply, it would kink and then not help. i got lucky and made a leak proof solution by using small plumbing 90 elbows in a block thingy with a lot of screw positions onto itt. that allowed me to turn the fluid circuit so it didnt kink
if i redo so it looks less trashy or something, I would like the sunsong since i would be able to know how long it would need to be without issues. and its tough stuff, doesnt cut easily. if you do use some for something, be mindful of pulse dampenings and make sure some normak type hose or something can soak those. I feel these are too rigid and if 100% these, failure from pulses maybe idk. I know this is someons wanted but im totally about to pass out and this is the first place i saw you
