Default pOWER STEERING COOLER relocation on 1993 MIATA

I have used Jason McCully's mod for my AC condenser, mounted to the radiator brackets in Martin's kit(eliminates threading rods thru the radiator and allows radiator removal w/o upsetting your AC lines - very slick). The AC condenser as it mounts in the nose of the car does not allow space for the Power steering cooling lines. Is there a fix for this.??? Help

I just eliminated it on all my builds. I've had no issues on the street or the track with overheating.

The car i bought has no power steering but one not go whole hog and use the mini electric power steering and mount that in the cooler in the trunk? I've also seen people trying to use the Chrysler Cherokee electric power steering pumps. Or something from England I think it was the renault something another that the Eagle Talon guys are trying to figure out how to make it work.

On Nadine I pulled the factory cooler loop and have had zero issues with it. Some of the later NA's with PS did not have the cooler either (3 of the parts cars I have owned had PS and no cooler, Factory set up as far as I could tell).

I don't think I would even do that. Disconnect the cooler and use the longest hose of the two to bypass the cooler completely, no loop needed.
