Can SOHC ps lines fit DOHC? (RHD)

Post by pballa88 »

So I recently purchased a 1990 240sx Right Hand drive with a 1996 KA24DE swapped in. But it doesn't have power steering because one if the hard lines broke for whatever reason. I was wondering if SOHC ps hard lines would fit on the DOHC. Also would right hand drive make a difference on where the ps lines should be? The master PS cylinder is on the right side of the engine bay (Where it should be for RHD)

I don't have experience with RHD stuff but I will tell you that if I wanted to have added p/s during my SOHC to DOHC swap I would have pretty much needed custom lines. I'm pretty sure that the SOHC and the DOHC place the p/s pump on opposite sides, so yes I think DOHC RHD lines might work...
