Hi Randall
The Power racks are identical, the only difference is the pipe work, I will
try applying pressure to the rack ports with air somewhen soon, nice idea! I
also have a spare PAS pump and pipes and was thinking of rigging up some
sort of drive so that I could test the rack and fiddle without having to fit
remove fiddle etc!
What was wrong initially was that the rack blew a seal out and dumped the
fluid on the deck as I arrived home with my caravan from storage apart from
that it was the best PAS rack I have ever had in a triumph for feel and
feedback. After I rebuilt it was when the other problem arose.
What was the problem with your rack that you consider to be a manufacturing
defect, and how was it mis-assembled?
Graham.
