I've seen on here (a long time ago) someone replace the original power steering looped metal cooling pipe with a stainless item ...

Only place I could think of would be, www.autospecialists.co.uk
if anywhere, worth a look.

You just missed out on a new replacement item on ebay, went for £4

If you want stainless - give Mark at http://www.mkmotorsport.co.uk/Contact.html an email asking if he can do it

Why do you want it out of stainless ?, SS doesn't transfer heat very well at all, and this is a major problem on the PS on the cossie, I've fitted a 5 row(235mm) cooler behind the bumper slot for cooling on mine, about £30-£40 to do.
