If so I was just wondering how you dealt with the rack. Leave fluid in and plug the ports, drain fluid and plug ports, run a hose between the 2 ports. Just want some ideas as to what method you used, so I can decide which way I'm going to do it

I kept the rack. I looped the P/S rubber lines and looped the hard pipe line above itselft. Works real nice and is a little easire on the wheel this way. I just removed the belt at first and like it but doing the real conversion makes it a little easier.

I removed my P/S and just looped the lines together with some steel braided hose.
I've looked into getting a manual rack for my FD. It looks like a manual rack from an FC will work. The only thing that will need to get modified is the rack MOUNTS since they're different on the FD. Won't be too hard though...nothing like a welder and grinder to fix stuff
