Hi there, I have all the bits you need barr the custom linkage, custom pipes (you can bend yours with some heat)and spacers to fit the rack(speak to DanThe for all these)

The rack you need is the clubsport end with an 067 part number, I have one. You will also need new track rod ends unless you use your current ones.

I'm assuming the engine is an m20? I'll do the kit that I have for £175 posted. That will be the rack, pump and mounts, pipes and resevoir, pullys and I'm sure I can find a belt too.

Chuck me a PM if you are interested.

Cheers Byron

Be aware that while the pumps are essentially the same, they all feature different mounts that are specific to the engine. While you can buy a pump with no mounts on eBay, you'll find it hard to find a bare mount, so make sure the pump you buy comes complete with the mount you need.

You might also need to check the front of your engine that you have the correct pulley; I seem to remember reading that some cars had only a twin-belt pulley (for alt/fan and aircon), when you need the three-belt pulley to drive the PAS pump. You can't use the aircon pulley for the PAS pump.

Ah so not all m20 engines have the right pulley... I'll need to check knowing sods law it won't.

Also, not all M20 engines share the same pump mount; I took the pump of my M20B20, and it wouldn't fit to the M20B25 I got from an E34...
