Advice on pipe from the steering rack needed

[Dynasty]

Heat the copper washers up with a torch and they will be good as new (soft again)...

Yep could heat them but with it being such a pain to get at will fit all new copper seals and hydraulic hoses.

Should have the pipes done before the weekend. That will give me two days to refit the pipes and Turbo

All new pipes, clamps, banjo bolt with washers and Tee piece silver soldered.

Fitted today all ok.

Leak test in two weeks after the RS2 turbo has been fitted.

Hey there Orsum - good progress....
Where did you source the banjo bolt? I've got a problem with the banjo bolt that is on the power steering pump , I messed it up when replacing the X plug on the pump.
TIA

Any brake shop should have them.

I got mine from a small place in Stanger called Elite, the guys name is Alan +TD PPP 9556 the guys at work advised he would help with the pipes etc, I would never have found him by myself.

Thanx Orsum - I'll try a few more places here - I only need the bolt, which has some kind of filter in it......the 2 power steering places I've tried, said agents only
Cheers

The gauze is not essential, if your system is clean. There is a filter gauze in the tank. Its just an 18x1.5 banjo bolt really

[Mr G]

Thank you Error404 - that does help.......I thought the gauze and little hole in the bolt served a specific purpose - so thought bes to get the same.
Fortunately another RS2 owner here has a spare, so getting it from him. Hopefully I don't mess it up this time. I think I messed up the bolt, when replacing the X plug

So replaced the bolt - and guess what it continued leaking, removed the bolt and the threads are damaged again - see pic. My dilemma is how do I clean the threads on the pump, which I assume is damaging the bolt, without dropping any metal filings into the pump

No problem carry on

[Mr G]

Just an update - managed to get a generic banjo bolt 10x1 BTW, without the filter in it. I cleaned the threads on the pump, put in the new bolt and no leaks I still need to do a pro longed drive and some stop go traffic to fully test. THANX for the advise, input and help - much appreciated.
Orsum - apologies once again for railroading your thread

Looking forward to a weekend drive one of these days
