Power Steering Line
 
Do these require fancy fittings/hose or will regular SS braided stuff do the trick? Its the pressure side, which is why I am curious.

And if it does require fancy crimps, know any local places that can fab me up a line?

Thanks

Must be rated for PS. I run it and have made it by hand. It requires ferrels on the inner hose.

LTb1ow 01-06-2013 03:48 PM

Any hydraulic hose will work if the fittings thread correct right?

WildBillyT 01-06-2013 03:51 PM

That I do not know. Summit sells a universal braided ps kit for a little over 100 I think.

BonzoHansen 01-06-2013 04:01 PM

iirc 2000psi spikes. is this for looks or need due to your changes?

It may not be needed but the pressure line is dangerously close to a hotside pipe. I want to fix it before its an issue later on.

The high pressure line has o-rings seals @ both ends. M*d*l*r Turbo sells a kit, or you can just sleeve it with one of those lava rock made sleeves by DEI (i think that who sells it).

DEI makes all sorts of nice heat shield stuff. Check out aeroquip at least for info. I'll poke around for some info on other stuff I saw.

obligatory $0.02 warning. don't cheap out. I've seen PS hose breaks burn cars down.

Ironic post, is ironic :wink:

Its close, like touching pipe, not gonna deal with heat shield BS.

BonzoHansen 01-06-2013 05:41 PM

i was thinking new line & heat protection.

LTb1ow 01-06-2013 05:45 PM

I would want to just run a long one and keep it well out of way. IDK.

The_Bishop 01-06-2013 06:41 PM

Your assumption that my car will drive, is taken as a compliment.

Since they make them, I assume they have the things to make them.
