1987 Vanagon with TiiCo Conversion I was wrestling with a leaking power steering hose this morning and bumped the return line to the reservoir and the reservoir cracked. I've attempted a repair and haven't tested it yet, but I'm thinking that if the reservoir is that brittle with age, perhaps, the time has come to replace it (the reservoir, not my Vanagon). However, my search for a direct replacement has not been fruitful. VanCafe lists it, but it is not in stock, Does anyone know of a source? I've wondered if a reservoir from another VW model might work. I noticed that the Jetta/Golf ones do not have a filter, their hose connections (barbs?) exit on opposite sides of the reservoir unlike the Vanagon's, and I have no idea if the hose barbs are the same diameter. Any sources, ideas? Thanks in advance. oldkayaker
