Default Relocating the powersteering resevoir

The powersteeringpump resevoir sure is a nuisance on the V5/6 when it comes to space as it kinda prevents a larger intake hose from being installed.
I have seen hoses installed but to me it looks all choked up in that bend in between a runner and the resevoir making me wonder if a larger silicone intake makes any sense as the bottleneck limits airflow.

I have seen that people relocate that resevoir and i have also seen this metal adaptor that fits on the pump and allows a hose to be attached that will transfer fluid to teh resevoir mounted elsewhere.

My questions:

- what exactly is needed to make this work ?
- what about the hard line that goes towards the resevoir ?

Thanks

You might be able to source the parts required for this from Pirtek they deal with hydralic lines,fittings etc. Could you not just replace all the hard pipes with normal or braided hoses then you can route them where you like pretty much.

I am sure i could but i am sure others have done this in a much easier way and i prefer not to re-invent the wheel again.
