Ah, not those (as I do the same thing)
I'm talking about if you take the upper housing off the rack itself (the thing held on by the 3 bolts with the star shaped bolts, where the feed/return/crossover lines thread into) there is a seal on the very top part of it that goes around the splined shaft itself.
In order to weld fittings onto that part (if you don't want to seal with odd metic fittings that dont' ever really seal right), you need to know the upper housing bearing and that seal out, effectively ruining the seal.
I guess I could measure it up and see, but they deform so much when removing them that it's hard to get a proper measurement. Atop of that, I'm not sure how much pressure it needs to resist..if it's just a wiper seal cool, it seems to be just that
