As one of the first to use an MR2 pump, here's what I did. I went to a place called 'Oil Filter Supply' here in Portland. They specialize in all things like power steering, oil pressure lines, filters, etc., and do work ranging from small stuff to big rig stuff. I left them the MR2 parts and the hose length specs, and picked everything up the next day for under $40....it all looked like factory! I would suspect that any major city would have multiple shops that do this same type of work....go to one of them. See Ya.......John Wayland
