So this is a new experience for me.
I went to install a high pressure line onto an S14 steering rack, Upon closer inspection I see that there are no threads left where there should be M14x1.5 threads.
I am considering options at this point. I know my final option is to replace the rack, and so I am looking for one yes...
however, there might be another way to fix this. Perhaps I can weld an AN fitting to the rack? But I am not sure if the heat will ruin it (probably a bad idea).
on the other hand, maybe a size up in threads? The only reason I tossed this idea is because of the insanely high pressure in this location. I am feeling the direct replacement is my best option. Especially since it will only cost $100-$250, that $250 being a re manufactured unit...
So zilvians, my friends, somebody has faced a similar problem... do you have any other insights I am overlooking? I am greasy and tired so not thinking clearly probably right this moment.
