Show me your power steering pot brackets...

[Pupp]

Ok, not the most exciting thread in the world but I need/want to make up/adapt a new mounting for the power pot. Have an ally replica of the oem unit that sits ok on the stock mounting bracket, but relocated to the gap where the dizzy was (hanging off the back of the alternator on a bar... effective enough but just not very elegant and I'd be astonished if someone here hasn't done something much nicer I can plaguarise as this is a comnmon enough mod for those using coilpacks

Pupp that's very nice just curious but does that have an internal filter/strainer fitted?

[Pupp]

No, there's not a strainer of any sort in there but I know some run filters in the low pressure circuit somewhere.

I would if i was you otherwise you will rapidly contaminate the soft seals with contaminates from the pumps wearing internals,and you dont want to accelerate wear on a steering rack thats considered by some to be far from reliable,just a thought Pupp.

As it's done 104k miles with no issues so far, I reckon I might just leave as is
