This was falling down the list so I thought I'd give it a bump for something that sounds like good tech. '
I know you'll find it hard to believe , but most of us dont speak english either, its more of a bastardized version of 3 or 4 languages, french being one of the major ones.

Yes. I used this: AQP® High Pressure Hose (Power Steering) by Aeroquip. Hose cover is braided fabric, blue color. Hated the blue, so I used black ink for an inkjet printer to make the fabric black. Used this hose for the high pressure line from the PS pump to the hydroboost and the high pressure line from the hydroboost to the Borgeson box. Could not use it for the low pressure return line from the Borgeson box to the "T" into the PS pump as it would not fit on the "T". So far, so good after about 500 miles. Best price I found was $4.81 per foot, part #FBG-0600 from Murdock Express Hose Center. They also sell the fittings you'll need.

Hose assembly instructions are on page 40 of this brochure: http://www.eaton.com/ecm/groups/publ...pct_338224.pdf

I used the lines that came with the HB unit, and the rack, and combined/bent them so to fit fine, been there for years now....

I know you are in France, so it's tougher, but maybe try a junkyard that handles American cars??

I used the braided stainless Aeroquip parts. Bought them from Summit. Need to order some more for the upcoming rack conversion...
