Power steering hoses - upgrades

[taylormj4]

Hello,
Following a service (not sure why things that have been fine for years keep coming back broken after servicing but...) my power steering system is leaking nearly the entire reservoir in approx 100 miles of use !

The leak seems to be in the common leak place for Chimaeras (the two LP hoses coming out from the pump).

My question is has anyone tried any mods / different types of hoses etc as it doesn't seem the best design.
Anyone tried replacing the hoses with metal pipe ?

Found an 'upgrade' kit:
https://chimaerapartsonline.co.uk/product/power-st... but still seems to be essentially the same design but with some better fittings. Seems more of a 'looks better' upgrade than a 'more reliable' upgrade.

Thanks.

Those replacements kits are better than the originals they eliminate the jubilee clip joints which is where they leak from. My old ones leaked regularly and since I fitted one of those kits about 5 years ago, I've not had a single problem

The kit still seems to have a jubilee clip on the pipe to the bottom of the pump, which is one place mine is leaking but I suppose there isn't much you can do about that one.
