aluminum/stainless powersteering reservior interest?

almost most fds i see have some sort of leaky powersteering reservior. i took a look closely at this issue and realized that the seam on the reservior tends to leak over time.

im leaning towards making a stainless reservior that will sit in place of the stock reservior. it will use the oil cap from the oil filler neck, so people can run their fancy caps!


price should be around 110 plus shipping which is typically 12 to 15 bux


let me know what you all think

The fitting on the reservoir that feeds the power steering pump will just be a barb because it's such a short piece that AN fittings cannot be used.

But the return from the power steering rack will be a NPT fitting so people can plumb it using AN fittings or with a barb.

I'll be building a prototype and posting up some pics. I'm just finishing the last few oil filler necks and then I can focus on this
