Power steering pipes
One of my power steering pipes has 'exploded', covering the engine bay in P/S fluid. Does anyone make an aftermarket uprated kit, i.e. stainless steel braided etc? Or should I just see about getting fittings and piping from a local motorsport dealer and make my own...

Hi
You can make up your own from fuel inj or samco hoses if you want a H/D set up.
think you have just been a little unlucky this time as std hoses are pretty good if not damaged

Standard kit should be fine as long as it's in good condition.
Do NOT try and bodge something together yourself especially on the pressurised feed side. The power steering fluid is highly flammable and is close to a hot turbo, headers etc. If you want an after market, uprated one take whats left of your original to a hydraulic shop and get them to make something up for you.
