OK so i've got all the bits i need to fit the power steering and i'm fitting it this weekend.
I am going to have to drill holes to mount the fluid header, so i would like a clue where it should go as its pretty crowded on the N/S inner wing(RHD Car) a photo would be great??

From memory the header tank go's between the battery tray and the front corner of the inner wing(behind the headlight)if you still need pics by sunday afternoon i will take some and some measurements with the header removed so you can see where the holes go(no fluid in my header tank at the moment!)..p.s. if you ims me a email address i have a photo you could have a look at with the header showing..paul..

OK Last question, i promise?
Had a spare hour tonight so i stripped of the crank damper and the old alternator bracket to fit the new alternator/PAS pump bracket. Fitted the new alloy bracket with the steel arms for the pas pump and offered the pas pump up to have a look. The pas pulley is going to sit VERY close to the bottom radiator hose, is this right or have i got the steel arms bolted on wrong?
Help! i want to get the job done without a problem on saturday morning so i can get it tracked before everywhere closes for the bank holiday weekend

Most likely too late! But those metal brackets shaped like hockey sticks mount with the head pointing downward and away from engine block.I remember it being tight for space around the p.a.s.pump.hope the job went smoothly..paul..p.s. login seems to have locked me out of my original account!!

Job's all done and i've got to say the difference is amazing! it feels like a new car. If anyone has the chance to swap from rack and pinion to PAS, go for it, it's probably the best driveability mod you can do.
