Power Steering Reservoir Relocation Bracket Not so Good (1 Viewer)

[fe sus]

Just did a good chunk of the UTBDR with my 99 LX. Before the trip I'd added a second battery with the SLEE tray. Along with this I used their bracket to relocate the power steering reservoir. This failed numerous times on the trail. The whining pump let me know. After the second and third time I wrapped it with zip ties and eventually dealt with the issue. Can't imagine it will be a problem in town but just sharing my experience out in the boonies. Zip tie that little fella.

Okay I'm confused. What failed and what was zip tied?

Can you send me a photo of the bracket? We have changed the design over time. DId you bend the locking tab to keep it secure?

Is said PS bracket available to purchase separately? Link on www.SleeOffroad.com ?

Thanks Christo. I did bend the tab but it wouldn't stay "bent." Kept popping out. My solution wasn't elegant...

I think if I heated a new PS line and formed it into an "S" shape that would help. Or duct taped a coat hanger to it? You can see the zip ties below that are holding the hose in position.
