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

It is now self contained. There is no maintaining what so ever.

Im concerned as it wasnt meant to be a self contained system...
not sure if just plugging up the ports will do the trick as i would assume
that certain areas that requires lubrication wouldnt be without the pump circulating it...
im afraid of losin a seal or .....
fear is longevity
btw
how long have you had to do without the ps ?
