Steering Fluid Cooling Loop

[Newtricks]

At the risk of opening old wounds for some forum members; I read a thread where there was a suggestion that It might be possible to fabricate the steering cooling loop in stainless steel, or possibly use a small oil cooler instead of the OEM loop that seems to corrode away on a regular basis.
Did anyone do this, or try and ran into problems?

I think it would be quite easy to fabricate a stainless steel replacement with the right tools but the corrosion often looks worse than it is. Mine looked quite crusty but I removed it and it cleaned up well.

That looks like a transformation! and worth a definite try with mine, I was just concerned at the amount of metal that seems to have lifted - looks pretty far gone to be honest, so I’m happy to be pleasantly astonished.

I think @Jjim Is currently looking into making some of these items.

Yep, looking at getting them made up in Stainless Steel. Just the place I was discussing it with are closed at the moment.
