I recall you are pretty handy so Ill offer this route.. Typical power steering pump relief valves pop at 1500psi, and an SAE 45 flare fitting has a working pressure of something like twice that (from a recent project) I think you could make up a flare - pipe -flare pretty cheap that would save you f...
