    Power steering lines

    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to hook up the power steering lines for my s52. I've read the e30 lines work but that some bending may be needed to reach the stock e36 reservoir position. Is the line that needs bending the one coming off the pump to the reservoir? Can anyone shoot a pic of the way you have it routed? Thanks

    I doubt the e30 line will work, check the pump end size. An e36 line will work, but doesn't look all that good installed. Custom is the best bet if you want it to fit and look OK/

      Right now I'm using stock e36 lines, but on my last swap I ran stock e30 lines and it worked just fine.

              I'll get some tomorrow. Still need to hook up everything after having to pull the motor again
