Exclamation *alert* *alert*

The build is coming along nicely!

But.... One thing I noticed that truly alarmed me is that the ports on your steering gear are wide open, inviting a disaster that could even destroy our brake assist unit. This is a classic fubar that even the highly regarded mega high end pro builders make. Any tiny little fleck of debris can get in there without notice, possibly causing the PS pump to then self destruct, then ruining everything else in the PS system. Have you ever blown a torque converter or front pump before? poisoning the whole trans with pulverized metals almost to the point of no repair? If the PS pump self destructs, it will wreck the entire PS system the same way...

Sooooo..... Pretty please? Purty please with sugar on top? Tape or plug the ports shut on your steering gear - it sent chills right up my spine when I was checking out your build progress. Help! I cannot watch!
