The 2 hose are low pressure, one goes to the Power Steering Pump and the other goes to the return line (low pressure side) from the power steering rack. I should imagine that any oil resistant hose would be fine but it would be best to check. The existing hoses on your car will probably have identifications / classifications / numbers on that you can look up. Otherwise just order a reasonable length of the stuff from one of the TVR Parts Shop places and cut to length. Why do you want to move it from its standard position?

Daz, I can't remember sorry. If you don't want to disconnect them to find out why don't you put a set of verniers around the outside to see if they are the same or not. I can't see any reason why they would be different since they will be flowing the same amount of oil but I can't be sure. Sorry.
