Steering rack pipework?

[mole42]

Hi, I need to find a replacement for the pipe that runs from the control valve to the centre of the steering rack. Mine seems to have a crack and weeps fluid. Most annoying. Robsport offer a set but I only need one!

Any ideas?

I believe it’s straightforward to make. Re use unions?

Last time I had a rebuilt rack, the place charged me for replacing this pipe.

might be worth a call?

Would be interested to hear how you get on with pirtek. I've used them for other fittings. E.g. oil cooler pipes. But when I took my power steering pipes they could not do them as it meant brazing an end on a new pipe. They also said the fittings were not metric so they couldn't make up a new pipe.

It's not a hose, it's a metal pipe like a brake pipe. If I have the correct size pipe in the garage I'll make one - a good idea Julian!

I needed some pipes for the rack and decided to buy an expensive flaring tool after the cheap flaring tool was useless. The line I bought to flare was not great even though it got good reviews. That was useless. In the end I bit the bullet and bought a set of ready made lines.
