    Re-installed power steering this weekend...

    on my M50TU swapped 1991 318i. Soooo much easier to drive than with the P/S delete, E36 M3 5-lug front and 235/40/17 R-Comps.

    The car is running an E36 Rack, Reservoir & Reservoir bracket (bolted to the driver's side motor mount. All the lines are from an E30 M20B25 with slight modifications to each. I had no issues with the banjo bolts being either too small or large as they all matched up perfectly to the E36 rack ('97 M3) & pump ('94 325is).

    M20 H/P Line (14mm banjo Rack to 14mm banjo Pump) - Bend the Rack end so it points towards the firewall and doesn't interfere with the steering linkage

    M20 L/P Line (16mm banjo Rack to Reservoir) - Bend the Rack end so that it doesn't interfere with the motor mount arm & cut length to fit reservoir

    M20 L/P Line (16mm banjo Pump to Reservoir) - Cut length to fit reservoir


    I didn't have a spare M5X/S5X H/P Line so I made the E30 M20 one work. Hope this can help some of you.
