Powersteering lines rusted out in front of oil cooler

Where can I get some new lines for a decent price? Is this all I will need to fix?

Is it rusted to the point that fluid is leaking out?

I repaired a bad section of mine with a small piece of rubber hose. That seems to work well.

to ghettofix it can you clean the rust/fluid/etc off of it and wrap it in electrical tape so that you can drive the car?

How would you like to go to manual steering on your power rack? I just got done tearing into all that stuff, removing all the hydraulic seals & such in the gearbox(once the fluid pressure's gone, they like to jam up on you, along with a little needle bearing in there). If you're interested, let me know & I'll produce I writeup for you guys...

I would llike to thin about manual but I just want the lines fixed for now because i dont feel like removing the whole setup or paying for it. Does anyone know a company besides the dealer for the fluid lines?

what u can do is eliminate the line completely
cuz all it does is loop around and does a job like a cooler for power steering
cut the completely and just join the back toghether right below the pump
it has worked for me and every one I done it for for years
