Were they H0290 ?
These turned up today from TVR Parts Ltd and as others have said earlier on in this thread they screw directly into the Subaru rack and TVR track rod ends (H0068)screw directly into these. Theses parts are only needed if changing from an original manual rack but at least we have part numbers on these now.

The pulley wheel stays there whether you fit a pump or not.
It's part of the serp system.
Like phazed I also went electric with the astra pump and it does the job very well. In retrospect though I would have found a saxo pump and put it in the corner where the expansion tank is located.
I placed the astra pump between the ypiece and rad and I think the heat has boiled the fluid. This I intend to remedy with some high temp steering fluid from Redline.

There is nothing wrong with keeping the standard pump if you want to.
I got rid of mine completely and didn’t replace it with the dummy pulley but fitted a shorter belt.
I fitted a saxo electric pump in the corner of the engine compartment. No overheating problems there although I didn’t have any overheating problems with the old Vectra pump fitted centrally adjacent to the Y piece in my old chim.

This makes for a very clean engine front end IMO no unnecessary clutter I got rid of mine completely and didn’t replace it with the dummy pulley but fitted a shorter belt.

RED - permanent 12V+ through fuse F7 (80A)
BLACK - Ignition switched 12V+ Through fuse F23 (10A)
BROWN/WHITE - To diagnostic connector
BROWN - EARTH
BLUE/WHITE - To alternator/ECU.
Do away with the brown/white diagnostic one.
