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

Leaving fluid in there and plugging the holes works well.

u dont need to switch to a manual rack... ?

That would be ideal, but there never was a manual rack for FD's, at least none that I ever heard of. I believe that you have to work something out if you want to keep your A/C.

Dont Be A Rikki in the other forum has done this. If you need to know something Im sure he could help.

done which...

remove PS then plug...or...found a manual steering rack ?

id prefer the latter as i have concerns...

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.

how do you plan on maintaining it......

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

Or do I misunderstand you?

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 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif
