V8 Power steering

During lock down I have decided to fit power steering to my series 1 V8, steering box, reservoir, bottom pulley and pump fitted no problem, but struggling to find pictures of how the high and low pressure pipes fit and where they run and attach. I am sure I will have to fabricate some brackets etc.
 
With parts book, not that hard. Return line from box to reservoir has clips on both ends(pno 572722 -maybe, partly obscured?). Line from reservoir to pump (supply, low press) also has clips both ends(Pno 578205). Pressure line from pump to box has male tube nuts both ends (pno 578211). Unless there are changes of diameter in the low pressure hoses (ends different sizes?) I would bet any hose suitable for oil would work, but most hoses do NOT like ATF! These are RHD numbers, sing out if you need LHD numbers.
 
Many thanks for your replies, I have a parts book it shows the pipes etc but what it does not show is where the pipes fit. The high pressure pipe from the pump to the box does it come out of the pump upwards over the top of the distributor over the rocker box and then to the O/S inner wing or does it duck under the alternator.etc

Through retainer on a bracket,

And then down under the alternator braket towards the brake light swithch, where it's supposed to go behind a brake pipe, and up the inner wing to the PAS box.
 
Thank you Harvey for your help I will give it ago on Monday, it's quite tight around the alternator with not masses of clearance for pipe.
