to anyone who looped theirs im looking for some info... i was wondering if i can get the fittings anywhere else other than online. like lowes/home depot or even an autoparts store? if anyone has used fittings other than from online stores lmk. just tryin to avoid online shopping...

ive searched only to find diy's with people using semi-expensive parts for 2 fittings and a bolt. thanks...

 

i used a fly wheel bolt. OEM honda. you can easily use a bolt from home depot/lowes. you'd just have to figure out the pitch and size. i think its a 14x1.5 but im not 100%.

 

yea heard the flywheel bolt would work its 14mmX1.00 but the other 2 is where my problem lies. i believe they are 16mmX1.5 and one 14mmX1.5 but i need to be able to attach a hose to those two, so they cant be just a common bolt... know what i mean?

 

ok... did some more searching. im just gonna use barb firrings and get a couple of sizes so i know ill be good. just hope i can find a bolt to block off the other hole not looped...

 

If you want, I was actually going to do this on my car. But I decieded not to I still have the braided hose and all the fittings you would need. If you're interested pm I'll let it go for dirt cheap. Everything is brand new from summitracing.com

 

just swung by autozone and lowes, got the one bolt to plug it and the hose but they didnt have the right size barb fittings(2). ill be checking home depot and pep boys tomorrow

PM'd

 

My rack n pin was pumped up like normal operating conditions then the lines crimped and pinched , cut the lines right above the pinch or blockage and cut lines off or out! Never leaked , and I had somewhat of a power steer with no lines , pump ect....

 

Damn...my buddy literally just got done with his about 30 min ago. Got his fittings from AutoZone! He should be coming back here shortly, I'll ask him what size when he gets here.

 

thought of that but didnt think anyone ever tried it. lol... even thought of cutting the lines and throwin on a hose, but i dont want to damage the p/s setup in case i can sell it...

yea please do! i need correct sizes!!

 

if you search on google for a little bit theres a DIY write up of a guy that just cuts the original lines before the bends and clips a high pressure hose to them. no need for new fittings and no leaks.
i wouldn't be too worried about the condition of the lines unless youre going to just store them somewhere. they don't really sit well anywhere. just run longer soft braided lines.

i just bought a kit for 60 bucks. i was lazy.

 

lol, yeah im tryin to aviod that. ill try and search more tomorrow...

 

bump for info
