I just checked mine and its 600mm in lenght, I got made up at ENZED can't remember how much. I'm about to plumb in a oil cooler on the low pressure side as I have it runs pretty hot when 4wheelin all day( I only run 33's) Mark

I think a better way of doing it is to use your existing Hi-press Hilux steel tube to the box and rotate it to go forward and easy bend down beside the box, then at the bottom, a bend so it faces backwards pointing to under the V6 oil filter. To that, get a fitting braized to it to couple to a fitting on the V6 pump flex tube you already should have. No extra pipes are required. I think that's how I did mine and it's still good after 12 years, except the Comm hose perished from the heat, but that was easily replaced.

Just flexible stuff with the correct fittings on it?

Same issue for me

When I make hoses for commodore series 2 to hilux the hose is about 290 mm long with right angle fittings and nipples in the P/S pump and steering box

Sounds like luxadore wants some Power Steering Hose BLING.

The longer the better it looks!
