Hi guys, I have a few questions regarding getting flexible lines made for power steering. Im trying to keep the car driveable so i can just swap the line over all at once. The low pressure line is easy to replace as that has hose clamps at each end, its the high pressure line that will need to be a bit custom. Currently the way I have the hard lines routed they are in the way for a bull bar so a flexible line is much easier to route and will look neater.

Does anybody know what sort of fittings are used in the vitara power steering box and hard lines?

Low range off road sell these which fit into the steering box (http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/index.ph ... ssure.html) to run a JIC hose which is more common.


Would one of the above fittings be useable where the high pressure hard line joins into the flexible high pressure line from the steering pump below? The LROR fittings would also replace the banjo bolt in the steering box.



Or is the only option to get someone to cut up the existing line, braze on new fittings to run a flexible hose? Would a place like enzed be able to do this while i wait? Any ideas what this would cost?

Cheers.

I took mine to enzed and just asked them to use the existing fittings with some flexible hose.

Go to enzed and get it done (or get them to come to you). They will have those adaptors if you want to run jic fittings.

Cool, did they do that while you waited? Do you mind me asking how much it set you back?
