Default Where can i get these power steering pipes (4x4)

I have been told ford don't make them anymore
Not that bothered about the long metal one as that can be replaced with a hose if necessary, but the one that goes from the rack to the pump i think i will have to get that exact part. Also, is that specific to cossies or does an XR or a 4x4 ghia have a similar part?

usually PAS systems have a long metal pipe to get rid of some heat - replacing it with hose is not a good idea

don't know if the 4x4 system has another pipe to act as the cooler in addition to the long one pictured

yes it does

the 1st pic is just where the pump gets fluid from, it then goes through the 2nd pic into the rack

out the rack and goes toa cooler pipe on the passenger inner wing and back to the bottle

rog the bottom one, take it to a hydraulics place who make pipes etc, they may be able to mae you one

what bore is it? as you could bend up a bit of copper pipe similar bore.....if anything it'd probably aid the cooling of the fluid being copper...plus a cheap fix.
