Roger, The line is not the biggest problem The fact that the ends need to be pressed on is. Using hose clamps will work for about 5 minutes. if you don't believe me, read Dennis's comments just after mine. dylan ----- Original Message ---- From: Roger Sisler <rogersisler2000@YAHOO.COM> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 1:17:28 PM Subject: Re: leaks leaks and more leaks - Using rubber PS lines has been listed in the archives several times.I was regurgitating this.Not using my experience.I guess it must have failed for the people who used this . Or they did not use fuel line.That was my addition. However, rubber hose is used on both supply and return at the pump. Got to provide a flexable link to the metal lines on the frame.I bet hydraulic line will work and be easier than steel lines.This must be what was being written in the archives. I did not say to replace the ps rack with a manual rack.I only said to remove the V-belt,didnt I?.The effort needed to use the non power steering is not to great. The non v belt power steering is used by many,including myself.It is a reasonable fix. |
