Power Steering Leak

[MorrVR4]

First of all let me preface my first post on the forum by saying I am a super newb. I love my VR-4 but I'll be the first to admit I don't know very much about them.
So I have #1099 and took it in to have a tie rod end replaced. When the guy gave it back to me he said he noticed the power steering lines were rusting out and they're leaking slowly. Apparently they don't make these anymore, so you have to have them manufactured and he doesn't know where or how much this would cost. I was wondering if any of you have had this done or would have advice.

Thanks!

Some of them may be available yet (the smaller tubes-like off the front rack). I have a complete removed 4ws system in my garage, so whatever parts you may need I can provide them.

Yeah I don't know how hard he looked. He is an honest guy that does good work, but he doesn't specialize in GVR4s or anything. He just told me that the power steering lines are all rusting out, even the ones to the rear steering. I'll have to take a look later to see which parts exactly I'd need and then I could get back to you!
