powersteering pressure
I am wondering if anybody knows the amount of pressure the powersteering pump puts out. the reason is i have to mate the SVX powersteering hose to a volkwagen power steering hose - so im thinking if its under 50psi i can weld the two pipes together. if its over 50psi im going to have to get an adapter hose to mate the two together.
id prefer to weld them together as it will take about a week to get the adapter. |

Re: powersteering pressure
Yes, very high pressure, so it will need to be done correctly using hoses and fittings.

Re: powersteering pressure
well we dicided to go ahead and weld it. i had my welder do a single pass tig bead to weld the two together. we had no way to pressure test it due to the fact that you cant get metric anything where i live, but i know its bulletproof and will have no problem.
wtf about dog chow??? oh heres the weld Last edited by smokin_dodge; 01-29-2010 at 08:22 PM. |
