I'm looking for the 2 brackets that attach the power steering cooling hose to the cross-member under the radiator.

Mine are bent, seized and look as though they came off the Titanic and I can't get them undone despite many hours with release fluid etc. Due to bending I can't even get the torx bit into one of the bolts so probably have to cut/drill.

I'll need some to install the nice new pipe I've got. Anyone got some in reasonable not-too-rusty condition?

Ta.

Yeah, would have been but one is NLA - can't remember which one. Have ordered available one but will need other one as not optimistic about salvaging one of mine. Might see whether I could just have 2 the same to avoid NLA problem.

Still after these if anyone has decent ones.

The plastic parts (missing from my car) and the 'top clamp' (if you know what I mean) pieces are available and ordered, but the bits that these attach to, which in turn bolt to the chassis cross member are NLA.

F**k knows how I'm going to get these off. Hacksaw + drill + heat I think. All I need to salvage is the bits that screw to the cross member.

Unless anyone has any?

Drill out the Torx screws starting with a tiny drill bit and gradually work your way up in size, do it carefully and you should get them out without damaging the threaded part in the crossmember, that's how I got mine off.

After a lot of release fluid, blowtorch heat and swearing, I've managed to reclaim and straighten my bent rusty brackets, so the request in this thread is no longer required.

I thought you could just loop that pipe around when It goes as it does f all??
I.e just attach inlet to outlet in the shortest way possible

So you think the pipe is like that for no reason ? Or maybe it's like that to aid cooling the fluid ? Dunno

Yup it certainly does - any fluid under presure will heat up I think ? That's why water is no good as it boils and produces a gas which is bad

Basically you can keep a bit to join it up the the flexible hoses.

Well yes technically it doesn't do a lot other than allow fluid through it but I pretty sure it aids cooling due to its location ?

I'm sure pug put it there for a reason other than to go rusty LOL

If all the supercharger conversions (i assume) have it done i doubt its an issue either :p
A few sc conversions have pas coolers though i suppose....
