Make one with an fittings. Iirc the one to the pump is hard to find, and I think I machined a custom one for someone while in college once.
I've failed this line too many times now. I'm going to get one made up, but I can't see how to do the banjo fitting. The top o-ring and lower o-ring are different diameters. I was thinking perhaps getting a 16mm banjo with crush washers. Has anyone tried this?
The lower fitting I connected with a banjo, standard. The upper one you dont need to match the current oring sizes, if you can fit a standard banjo fitting do that.

I looked at this and mine wasn't the same. Looks like it's a LHD/RHD difference. Ie the high pressure flexible hose from the pump to the hardline on the rack is the same, but the hardlines on the rack are different.
LHD/RHD below.
Does anyone know what the flare fittings are, since it looks like I need to make a line to either connect straight into the rack (red circled fitting) or to connect to the existing hardline, ie mate with the blue circled fitting?
The red circled one is just normal inverted flare, metric threaded. You just have to know the tubing OD and you can get the right size nut. Its just like a big brake line. IIRC thats an option on the LHD rack just there isnt clearance to do it that way.
Just FYI, this hose will sweat power steering fluid after ~ 6 months. I grabbed one of these to swap in after my engine build and it has started sweating more and more.
Generic 5/8" hose from Oreilly's kinked on me so I ended up ordering the OEM NA hose which, from my research, will work on an NB. I guess I'm finding out in a week or so.
The coolant hose definitely works in a pinch, but look at the difference between the two sides of the hose clamp and it should be obvious that the hose isn't capable of the task.
