ive decided to depower the power steering but i dont have the time right now to do the prefered way...https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/how-de-power-your-steering-rack-right-way-440198/ so i decided to loop the two lines and pull the line going to the bumper for cooling, then block it off with a solid bolt(this is only untill i have more time to do it the way black91n/a suggests).... i know that this method has been discussed many times and ive looked at almost every thread that i could find but none of them mention a good way to loop the lines.

could anyone that has done this please post how you looped the lines and what parts you used......

I looped the two directly in front/under the oil pan.... Then loop the other two that those went to.- make sure to leave some p/s fluid in the rack
For the Feed/Return & Cooling, just cut a couple bolts to about 10mm long(threads) and put those in

I cut each line about 1-2" out from the threads.
Attached 1/4" compression fitting to each end.
1/4" copper tubing in between the ones you want to loop.

I'll put up a pic when i get back to my computer.

Yeah my friend Garfinkle used the factory hard line fittings are brazed them into a nice loop right down on the rack. It actually looks factory. LOL.

that looks pretty good i might try to do something like that

took me all of 30 min to do + a little clean up from the fluid.
i should have used a little more of the "stock" tubing on the first pic, but they dont leak so its all good.
