Power Steering Return hose

My Steering pump hose the one from the Steering pump back to the reservoir is leaking.
I have found a number of sellers in the US but as I live in Australia with Right hand Drive can anyone tell be if the US part will fit.
I am assuming the Steering Rack will be different between left and right hand drive models so my concern is the hose will be different as well

thanks in advance
Charlie

Can't you source em from local dealerships? Shouldn't be much pricier than US vendors. Verify w/ UK vendors. Consult w/ the guys over at minitorque.

Wow, must be cheaper to source them from Hong Kong or Singapore if the UK should be too far from you. They all have RHD.
