Benjammin- when running the 2 lines from the rack too the t piece what material did you use? Did you get hard lines made up or get a screw in hose fitting?

I used the original fittings - cut about 1 inch on either hard line and simply welded a hose fitting to each. Used fuel line or compressor hose - works a charm
I was just thinking the same thing, leave an inch or so on the original hard lines so the still bend upwards, but instead of welding I was thinking of just flaring the ends and clamping the hose on. With regards to what fuel fitter you used is one of those little clear ones with just an in & out on opposite ends?
I removed my power steering about 2 weeks ago and drove with no breather set up or fluid in the rack at all. Dry steering was pretty hard but no harder than any other non ps car i've owned (7 cars). It actually had quite a firm resistive feel which I quite liked but im sure it would be have been hard to steer under hard braking. In saying that, braking hard and steering fast at the same time generally end in the front sliding for me anyway.
Today I've just installed benjammins breather idea and im quite amaze in the difference it has made. I'd say its mid way between having ps and having nothing at all. Other than dry steering, I find this setup is my faourite to drive with, even nicer than having power steering. I have only had it for a day though but am incredibly pleased with the results so far
