Ruuman Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm currently half way through my Isuzu 2.8 conversion which has been going well until I came to reconnect the power steering pump. I'm using the Isuzu pump which has a weird banjo style fitting, so I nipped down to the local Hydraquip thinking this was going to be straight forward and they would just make me a new hose. My cunning plan to get them to stick the isuzu fitting on a new long hose ground to a halt when I was informed it's not legal to reuse old fittings and they didn't have anything that would fit So I asked for a length of hose, a joiner and a handful of jubilee clips. Hose was rated at 25bar (which I thought was a lot), it all fitted perfect and worked first time. Second time it sent a huge jet of power-steering all over the engine bay and driveway, the hose had burst... lovely So first question, anyone know a good company around Surrey/Sussex way that could make me up a hose and secondly what should proper power steering hose be rated at? Also anyone interested in me writing up the install, I've got a ton of pictures that might useful to someone. Cheers Ruu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
