Need P/S Conv. help FAST!

Ok. I removed my P/S pump from my steering rack. There are 2 open holes.

Do I need to get 2 solid bolts? or 1 solid bolt, and 1 vented bolt?

I have 25 minutes until the hardware store closes. So, please help quickly!

PS. Silkworm.... GET AIM!

****, get two solid and one vented. and try them all out if you are unsure. I would say two solid will be fine. BTW, did you block me from AIM? LoL.

I'll go the 2 solid 1 vented (if my little hardware store carries them)

I'll get the real answer when I get back

And never done what you suggest, I went with a manual rack. However, as I understand what other people have done, they leave the rubber lines there, cut them short, and splice them together (probably using a 3/8 NPT connector, I get mine at Home Depot in the air tools section) Not sure if that's too big or too small (since I've never done this )

I'm pretty sure it's used in alternative things (my friend who works with tractor hydrolics mentioned venting them)

Yeah, putting them together would keep the fluid flowing and possibly be easier to turn, but i hear of people just bolt-plugging them and they are fine. Just my .02 not that my "stoned ***" .02 ever influenced anyones decision before.....
