nice one, i just wanted to see how the belt went, ive bought the bracket, pump and pipes, just waiting for them to come, im on the hunt for a jimny box and a belt.

Cheers for the pics.

Is it a standard belt, there seems to be loads on ebay.

No the standard belt is to big and the pump hits the chassis before the belt is tight. I had to chop some off the bracket so the pullys would be closer together and then bought a much smaller belt.

There is a couple of Jimny box's on ebay, i know there around £100 but thats pretty much the going rate unfortunately. Thats about what i payed for mine. Or you can get a vit one for about £10 but then you have to make a wedge and adjust your radiator bracket.

so im guessing that the jimny steering box bolts straight to the chassis with no mods and the jimny pump bolts to the engine block with no mods? and does anyone know if you can get a V belt pully to fit on the power steering pump?
