I'm in the process of retro fitting factory power steering to my RHD DJ engined Syncro. The engine end is in just scratching my head about the rest. I realise it would be easier to just fit BW flexible ones but as I have a set of 4 pipes from a 2WD 1.9 RHD? it seems churlish not to use them. 

I don't have access to a lift so before I get horizontal in my favourite puddle I thought I'd check with you all first.

Hi Spanish.

Assuming you mean the lines that travel front to back, this will be the only bit I'm not sure of.
I used the Brickwerks flexi lines.

If I assume wrong, just clarify which bit you aren't sure of and I will get some pics of mine for you.

Good luck. PAS transforms the van IMO. 

2wd steel factory pipes won't fit at the front as rack is in different place nor at the back because of the routing around the gearbox mounts/bashplate fixings iirc, part numbers are all different suffixes for Syncro and if your shell wasn't p/s and has the mounts for the pipes fitetd and in good condition it's pretty hard to fit the steel pipes anyway, clearly one of the first things originally fitted to the painted shell along with the brake lines and wiring looms as replacing a single pipe is a "idiot" of a job especially on a Syncro

Thought so! Thanks both, kind offer Smiffo. So following Aidan's wisdom it sounds like I'm in need of a flexible solution, actually that's kind of a relief as I suspected the factory option was something I should have addressed when I had the tank out last year but didn't.
