Power Steering Rack Hard Line Reassembly
I'm in the middle of reinstalling my rebuilt steering rack and I'm looking for some guidance in putting the hardlines back on the rack. I have a 3-port (Velocity sensor) rack and I have attached the pages of the parts fiche I have questions about...
The main question I have is... are there crush washers that go between the rack body and the hard lines to the power steering pump?

For the sake of some one searching this in the future... I ended up trying 2 different things:
1. an o-ring on both sides of the banjo fitting
2. an o ring on top and a copper crush washer on the bottom
Both approaches worked with no leaks. I did not try it with nothing on the bottom of the banjo fitting as the parts fiche suggests... So I have no insight on that approach.
Additionally, the line circled in the top picture does not seem to exist.... the soft line screws right into the top port on the rack.
