FS: CONDOR UHMW & Aluminum Powersteering Deletes

[JK_E30]

*Update*
All new power steering deletes will be made of UHMV. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_h...t_polyethylene) it works better than the aluminum by preventing leaks caused by improper sealing with the o-rings. I am in the transition now, and will update the website.

Sounds intriguing. PM sent.

Have you done much testing with this new material? I am not at all doubting it based on some knowledge, just asking whether you have run the new material for long enough to say that it holds up.

Clearly, the old material was up to the task for many users.

I would so buy this if there was a DIY for the noobs like me. :)

Also, in for this.

Yeah i did a lot of research on this new material, and i'm in the process of testing now. Based on its properties, I have no doubt that it is up to the task. I stand by my products, and if for any reason you are unhappy with their performance, you can return them for a full refund.

I've used UHMWP for other things and it holds up very well. Just curious, but you know how you fill the ends of the holes you drill on the aluminum one? Are you going to be using the same material with the UHMWP or something else?

I just want to be clear that I was not doubting you- I was just curious.

It is a pretty straightforward install.

1. Remove as much of the PS fluid as you can
2. start disconnecting hoses
3. with everything disconnected and removed install the PS delete plate.

I have one question on whats the recommended way of putting the washers in.

Should it be bolt/washer/ps delete/washer or something else?

I'll be ordering one of these soon.

FYI - Updated your thread title to $35 shipped since that is what the current price is. Should help reduce the "30 or 35?" questions.

Just want to reiterate that draining the rack makes a huge difference on steering effort. I personally like lots of effort, but for those curious, simply removing the belt to the PS pump is not a good way to assess if you will like it

no problem :)

i'm using set screws and epoxy to seal the holes.

you are absolutely correct, it becomes harder to steer if you don't let some fluid out.

It wont let me :(

Which is why I did it for you. :p

Got mine today, looks great! Thanks

Don't hurt me for asking this in a sale thread, but it IS related...

If I want to use this and to swap in an E36 rack at the same time, I get to skip all of the PITA steps about routing the PS lines and just do the "mechanical" parts of the swap without the hydraulic steps- correct?

Also, doing this at the same time as an e36 rack swap is probably the easiest way to do both, right?
