wanted, power steering cooler pipe

Hi All,

I'm trying to source the power steering cooler pipe for my v reg prelude.

Pipe has started to leak quite bad.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just got mine repaired there, they are like hens teeth! and that's why I just have a metre length bit of high pressure pipe joined on both ends now and strengthened with cable ties, not the neatest look but no leaks and peace of mind,

I had a similar repair done to my old Lude - a loop of rubber tubing. It worked fine.

I know it's not very original but it never caused a problem on my car but as Derrick says the proper cooler pipes are like rocking horse poo .

The cooler??

It's situated directly behind front bumper and infront of radiator grill guard. It is simply a u bend piece of piping that allows the steering fluid to cool before going back through system. The pipe itself is sometimes bare but on mine and I'm sure on others it has a series of thin circle fins all round it I suppose to aid cooling.
