for anyone who doesnt know im currently puttin an EJ22 into my MY wagon

so wt do i do with the P/Steering lines...
i just want to know wt other ppl have done with them basically

it seems to me im gonna need something custom made with some different bends to clear the master cylinder and brake pipes int he engine bay
the EJ ones are wt ive tryed fitting but run to close to other components.
theres no chance the MY ones will fit, at their current length anyway..maybe i can get them lengthened and the right bends and fittings put on for wt i need. who knows

wt has other people done?
(i no Subarino had custom ones...maybe i can follow his and get some "copys" made)

anyone help?

I have made up collars and used the Lib lines and the MY ends and welded them up or you can use an L series rack or Liberty rack both options you need to modify other stuff to get them to fit. Or you get the lines made up for about $70ish to suit your needs from an hydraullic hose place.

if ne1 was wondering
i ended up goin in to the local Hosemart telling em to put flared ends and swap the nut thingos (those threaded things which go into the rack :p) over.
when they flared the ends they apparently had to bend em back straight to fit em in the flaring machine so when they tried to bend em back they didnt put the exact same bends into it.
it actually ended up fitting slightly better this way lol and there is less rubbing against the master cylinder.
i also put a longer peice of hose ontot he return line that joins it to the pump to accomadate the different bends it has but everything is working out for now.

havent actually had it running but im guessing my P/steering shudl work fine.

to change my Master Cylinder :p

they fit heaps better now with the Lib master Cylinder as it is nowhere near aslong as the old MY one so no more rubbing :D.
