Title: Power steering pipes
Post by: tricky1138 on April 28, 2019, 20:39

So after getting advisory on MOT for my power steering pipes I was going to order pipes from TCB until @StuC (https://www.mr2roc.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=15683) said he got his from Hamish.

So the question is has anyone else tried either pipes as to which to recommend?

I got mine off eBay. The unions needed torquing to a level I was uncomfortable with to stop a slight weep. Cannot remember but there was suggestion the eBay ones were missing o rings and needed PTFE tape. Either way, I had to remove the bracket that held them together otherwise I'd never have fitted them

It's fine mate, would just rather go on reccomdations rather than unknown!

I hooked another owner up with Hamish's pipes. They're spot on.

Looks like i have to speak to Hamish then.

I wonder if tagging @hamspeed (https://www.mr2roc.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=19783) will be enough?

You might have more luck asking him on Facebook at the moment?
