Power Steering

[Kevin Hawkins]

Help wanted!

I wish to put power steering on a 1989 pinto petrol engine Transit SWB caravanette. I can get the pump, rack and hoses etc., but nowhere (repeat nowhere) can I get the brackets that fit on the engine to mount the pump on.

a) Does anyone have any brackets or know where I can get them?
b) Does anyone have a drawing of the brackets?

Help would be very gratefully appreciated. (Wife complaining about her growing arm muscles).

Contact me by email or telephone: 01706 378632

Thanks
Kevin

Welcome Kevin. Have you looked at the granada engine, if you can find one in a scrappie? I have a grannie engine in the minibus (1985 B reg HC pinto), and it came with a power steering pump bolted to a bracket to the engine. If you find one, can I trouble you to get me the twin choke throttle linkage, which I can't fit until I get one. Good luck!!

Think so, it's a longish rod with a ball jiont at the end, and a small angle at the other.
