Default JDM ITR to EK power steering line ?

Pressure line on my '98 DX is 18mm dia (the part with the o-ring on it) where it goes into the power steering pump. The pump and line that came with the swap are 14.15mm. Of course the hose was cut. Sticker on pump says P72. What power steering pressure hose do I need? Same year GSR hose as swap?
Thanks!

Answered this one myself. After searching through the many Honda and Acura parts catalogs available online and looking at the size of the o-ring on the p/s line where it goes in the pump, it appears Honda started using the larger fitting around 1996 and Acura around 1998. Since i had no way to determine if the threads in the steering rack were different there was no way to be sure a line from an older car with the smaller fitting would work. So i went to the local Honda recycler and got a 1998 or later B-series Integra pump which had the larger 18mm hole for the pressure line. After a little minor pipe bending it works fine.
