Power Steering Fed non return valve

[CalElan]

Power steering has been leaking for an eternity - decided to tackle it for this summer.
Leak was at union with feed pipe and rack.
Finally got it split but it seems it split in the middle of the Non-return valve (fitted to fed cars) - I have lots of little pieces but no idea how they all go together.
Ideally I'd like to source a replacement if anyone has a part number or can help in any way I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

I think you mean the bunch of fittings in-line with the pressure hose to the rack?

They are only available with the hose itself. DBE has it listed for $192.00 + postage.

I have a spare new one for $140.00 + postage if it will help.

Lotus Engineering stressed that I should NOT disassemble it and just offer the fittings. I believe the flare fittings "mate" and they will lose the "crush" if taken apart.

That's how I understood it...

Hi John,
hope you're well.
That kind of makes sense. I'd had some wrenches on the union before in an attempt to tighten it to stop the constant drip drip..
I'd decided the only way forwards was to try and split it, clean it and go again!

I'd love to take that spare from you - let me know what P&P to 94040 will be and I'll paypal you the full amount.
I'm sure you have my address as you've bailed me out too many times to mention!
You can contact me on andrew AT austerfields DOT com

Thank you John!

I will dig one out and get it packed to figure out the postage.

John, finally got the pipe fitted.
As usual 95% of the job was getting the old one off.
I think I finally have an Elan that’s at least try to keep all her fluids inside!

Thanks for your help.

I'm happy to know the problem is fixed (for now).
