RESERVOIR WITH OPTIONAL BLACK COATING
With the
plastic power steering reservoirs for our Turbo Regals being
discontinued, it is getting harder to find a
replacement. We have come up with a solution for those
of you who aren't afraid of modifying your Turbo Regal.
This aluminum power steering reservoir kit will bolt up to the
stock bracket and requires no alterations to your car.
The tank is baffled to reduce foaming of the fluid. A
true bolt on modification that includes all necessary
hardware. Included in the standard kit is the PLAIN aluminum reservoir, two 90 degree brass fittings, mounting
clamp and bracket, allen head screws and washers, cap and a
longer return hose.
The
hardest part of the installation is removing the fluid from
your old reservoir without creating a mess in your engine
compartment! Once it is removed, install the
mounting bracket to the stock bracket that is bolted to the
fenderwell. Install the fittings into the reservoir
using teflon tape or paste on the threads. The bottom
feed fitting should face towards the front of the car.
The return fitting should be turned towards the bottom
of the tank.
Drop the
tank thru the clamp and tighten the clamp. The threaded
part of the t-bar clamp should face the rear of the car.
The side fitting should sit about 1" above the clamp and
should face towards the motor.
The
existing 5/8" supply line attaches to the bottom
fitting. The included length of 3/8"hose attaches
to the return metal line and to the side fitting of the
reservoir using your existing clamps you removed from the
stock return hose.
Make sure
all clamps are tight and then fill with power steering about
1" from the top. Put on the cap and start
car. Check for any leaks, if you remembered to use
teflon tape or paste there should not be any! Shut off
car and recheck the fluid level.
OPTIONS!
The plain
aluminum tank is functional but not super pretty as is.
We can put a gloss black coating on it for an additional
charge. We can also include an engraved overlay to put
on the cap to dress things up a bit more.
