Power steering lines

[cyclegrip]

Curious if anyone has pictures of what they have done to their power steering lines

Made custom ones? Mine seem to wanna lay right on my up pipe and I don't want that happening

What hotside you running

I haven't use this myself but if you're so inclined - a diagram to convert the power steering to AN lines. At least this way you can route them however you'd like. I totaled this up at one point and if I recall correctly I think was like $250 in parts to complete. (Note: I'm assuming the 03/04 Cobra's and Mach 1's have the same hydrobroost unit. I do know the ones in earlier cars do have slightly different fitting sizes).

^Interesting........might need to look into this as a project

 

[cyclegrip]

Oh wow thanks for that guide, I do have means to make my own hydraulic lines at work I may go that route but braided line would look so much better of course

 

[cyclegrip]

Just used that guide and ordered all the fittings and line, I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Got everything for ~$200 with shipping

^Let us now man. We need some pics!!! I want to do this bad

 

[weaselp1]

subscribing...definitely want to see how this turns out!

+1! subbed!

 

[cyclegrip]

Well I got all my shit, lemme just say don't order from an fittings direct
Their line sucks so much it is the hardest thing to work with. I certainly wouldn't trust it under pressure since I can't even get one together
Gonna order all Russell stuff after I return this junk

I just did my whole system using Russel fittings and their PTFE lined stainless power steering hose. Came out sweet. I used the guide above and changed a couple things to my liking. Made the whole system 100% AN with an aluminum tank as well.

Any pics? I'd love to see this

Would you mind doing a small write-up and sharing what you changed and post some photographs?

 

[Mystic03]

just installed my CG and it doesnt exactly hit it as bad at least with mine... plus ill be coating/wrapping it along with thermal covers for the lines

 

[1raresnake]

Just finished my AN lines.

^need more pics!!!

For the guys that have done this - What fitting are you using on the pump and have you driven the car for any significant amount of mileage? The pump fitting listed in the diagram doesn't even have an o-ring on it. I can't believe that wouldn't leak?

This thread could not have come at a better time. I just removed all the lines for that system on my car and was thinking about what it would take to re-route everything and clean that area up.

Does anyone know what the psi is of the high pressure lines? I don't want to get say 750 psi lines when I actually need 1000 or higher. I'd honestly rather run black cloth braided instead of steel but I doubt the psi rating is high enough.
