2G Power Steering Tuck

[Rsawd95dsm]

I got tired of looking at the lines routed on top of the shock tower so I did something about it. I re used all the old lines that came stock with the car. It only took a couple of hours to complete.

Turned this ^ into this ..

Then put all them to good use and ran all the lines under the shock tower and mounted them there.

Then I ran the lines right by my alternator relocation and they had just fit.

Then I took all the old hard lines and just straightened them out and mounted them here.

Then I routed them right up thru the old ABS location.

I know the pics suck and are upside down but sorry.

And now I have something that looks like this and still have power steering.

Awesome Idea! Wish the pictures were a little better to do justice! Wonder what it looks like on the underside..

nice. +1 on the pics.
did you reflare the hard line

This is awesome. I'd like to do something like this on my 2g. Those lines don't look good either. Nice work.

Yea when I cut the one hard line up I had to re flare it. All the other hard lines I was able to bend and just re use. And I tried to add better pics but the sight says they are too large for download. So until I figure that out no pics.[DOUBLEPOST=1411175321][/DOUBLEPOST]Got it.

Later though, also have extra lines to play with so why not!

 

[Rsawd95dsm]

I'd do it now as its a lot easier I'd imagine with the motor out. I sure wish my motor was missing when I did it.

Instead of reusing the hardlines can you use steel braided lines or is there a reason for the hardlines?

That's a great question! I'm sure braided will be more expensive but probably last longer, I don't know thou, having something not very stiff so close to moving parts, might not be the best idea unless you really secure that line!

+1 for wanting to know if there's any other type of new flexible line that would work

Russell PowerFlex is PTFE-lined with 2500PSI rating.

It's reasonably priced (on eBay), just need to figure out what fittings/adapters/hose ends to use.

I wonder if -8an would be sufficient..

 

[jjw205]

Judging by the size of the hardlines, that should be adequate.

 

[Rsawd95dsm]

For tucking it out of sight and underneath, theres no point in getting new lines. Looking at mine I never even notice the lines let alone that they are the old stock ones.
