Hey guys! I made a bonehead move, upon doing some maintenance to my 96 Passat I cut the hard steering rack lines out because they were very rotted looking, thinking they were just a simple normal flared line like a brake line. I was rudely mistaken! I have visited a handful of hydraulic shops that all say they can't help me make new lines I ordered the eea engineering lines for the golf opening that they would be the same which they unfortunately aren't. The length is correct but the fittings are different. I find it hard to believe that I have to replace the whole darn steering rack and that there's not some way to adapt this or make this work I could have it fixed in two minutes if I have the right parts! Has anybody run into this issue before! Worst-case does anybody have a used set of lines I can grab?! Thanks for any help! Hindsight is 20/20 the car is completely dead in the water until I figure this out!
