Default 3dr power steering pipe

The pipe which goes from the bottom of the reservoir to the pump (the fat one) doesn't go directly to the pump, it sort of bends up, goes in a loop then goes back down to the pump (dont know if its the same on the saphs). What i want to know is does this pipe have to be this shape or could i fit a pipe which goes directly down to the pump. I'm asking as the pipe is no longer available from ford

Not sure if its the same as 2wd saph,but I bought a saph one last year from Ford m8

Needs to be special hose for power steering fluid though,very corrosive apparently

I rang Roose Motorsport when doin mine,he couldn't supply anythin to do the job

I'm trying to get hold of the RS owners club as apparently they have bought up all fords discontinued parts so i'm wandering if they have got the last of them.
