The body needs a small amount of clearancing but it just bolts straight onto the chassis.

We are investigating solutions. 20240330_101854(0).jpg Edit note: Inside dimension between fixing lugs on new alternator is 68mm Outside dimension o...

My woes regarding finding a fixing bracket for a power steering pump continues!!
Am now thinking of measuring up and having one fabricated.
Fixing arrangement as shown in picture.

My experience of the electric hydraulic pumps when combined with the Jimny steering box is that it’s usually quite rubbish and the steering is still heavy, people used to use the PSA units. I would just fit a suzuki based, engine driven pump using a kit. It’s a simple and reliable set up that’s pro...
