power steering pipe
does anyone know the reason why the hose from bottle to pump has a twist or can you replace it with a straight hose

Not sure why its 'it's piggy tail shaped' but Burton's supply a hose that's straight to aid when fitting a Hart plenum

Just be careful running power steering fluid through silicone, ideally the pipe needs to be lined, Roose Motorsport supply the piggy tail pipe in silicone
