I want to remove the reservoir & the hoses of it closer to firewall, where the brake vacuum saucer stays..

On the spare place after the removal I'm going to put a header tank like it was on TTE GrA's.
Also I'll reach an enourmous upgrade of axles balance ;) ;) ;)
The fight for grams goes forward :lol:

I will take the longer hose, etc, blah-blah..

Mates, how do you think - is this maneuver puts a risk on smth?

All your opinions are welcome!

Should be a simple exercise in getting a couple of longer hoses made up

If you were really really brave you could investigate an MR2 power steering rack which is electrically assisted

any manufacturers offer quick racks, either full unit or just internals for upgrade

probably worth ditching all toyota parts, install alloy tank, with lightweight oil cooler, braided lines its not a hard job to relocate the pas setup.

a few thing comes to mind:

on most comp cars improving accessibility of important key parts is part of the build.

surrounding brake master cylinder with extra clutter could come back to haunt you .. when you have limited time for repairs , as it is its in a *bleep* arse place, I intent to relocate the entire unit for twin cylinder setup .

BTW -

PS Unit is relocated already.

2 metal braided hoses + welding the bracket. That's all.

All PS system was redone, reinforced, as it must be ready to any combat.

All lines are braided, cooler (spiral) is gone.

Altitude - 10 km's, flight is normal :)

As for accessibility - all useless stuff is removed from the bonnet, now it contains only needful things.

You know Rene, for site admins it's better to make an ability to post a pics directly like attachment, than to insert it through links.
For me it's really hard to put firstly on photobucket & then to post it here - I'm too idle to do it.
