The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I removed mine, looped the pipes with a hose and made sure there was fluid in it. Was fine.I also had a custom crank pulley made by nst since it didn't need the power steering belt which is for sale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Have a look at my sale thread bud.Although out of all the items I have it's the one I wouldn't mind keeping as it looks nice lolWhen I looped mine, i used silicone hosing, but due to the thread someone put up when they failed the mot due to it, I would use normal hosing so it's less obvious.
