DIY RHD Power Steering Lines
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2019 2:27 am
Ok, so there are a few threads around that serve as a walk through to make your own power steering lines, however none of them are RHD specific. Figured I would write this up so people can avoid buying the wrong shit three times like I did.
This is the thread I originally found, which has a ton of great info, but really only applies to LHD cars:

It seems there are at least a few ways to do this. Using this setup requires you to use a rubber hose between the rack & pump for low pressure line.
On my setup I eliminated the hose barbed fitting on the rack side, and instead had a shop make me a rubber hose that had no fitting on one end, and a -6 AN female fitting on the other end. I haven't been able to find an 'off the shelf' option for that hose. Maybe I can update later if someone sees one.
Fitting Sizes:
Rack High Pressure - Male 14mm x 1.5
Rack Low Pressure - Male 16mm x 1.5
Pump High Pressure - Male 14mm x 1.5
Pump Low Pressure - 3/8" Barb
Fittings Needed:
