David,
If your thinking of fitting a later power steering tank to your car speak to Paul Hobart (Gecko)..... he had a later one fitted to his car by Prosport (aka Subaru Manchester). Think they only charged him an hours labour so it can't be hard.
If your thinking about remote mounting it........... can't help
.
Tony.

Dont think they run as high pressure as that, but Ive used compression joints many times on various cars, PAS included. Never had one give any problems. They are cheap and easy.

Hydraulic runs very high pressure... last hoses I had made were about 500psi burst pressure IIRC.

If I didnt mention before, what I will be doing, and what Michael done, was get the pipework of a damaged car.
All you really need is the front section as far as the flexible crimped bit. We just cut the original pipe close the the flexible section, and joined on the new bit from the later car using a brass compression joint ( 10mm )
PAS pipes from any 97on car will do....
I dont know thread sizes, but early pumps have a smaller diameter thread than newer ones, but the pipework remains 10mm.( outside diameter )
