M52 Niggles - Power steering and fan wiring

Post Mon Jan 28, 2013 3:56 pm

Hiya

Can someone please tell me how I need to plumb up the e36 rack in my conversion (it used to be connected to a M20 engine!)

At the moment:

Larger Pipe from bottle with 22mm nut is going to p/s pump
p/s pump to rack where 19mm nut was connected to on M20
Rack to smaller pipe connector on bottle.

Is that correct? Im just getting the ps fluid overflowing out of the bottle!

As for the fan, the conversion came with a DanThe loom, but fuse 3 is blocked off in my fusebox (no holes for the fuse) - how else can I wire it in?

Thanks

Reminds me I need to get hold of Dan, my fuse box wasn't like the manual he sent me.

That's if I could get in the garage to work on the turd

If you have an M52 PAS pump then the res to pump should be just pipe with a clamp on each end, pump to rack is 16mm fitting on pump (22mm hex) to 14mm fitting on rack (19mm hex) then from rack to res 16mm fitting on rack push on pipe on res

What do you mean by fuse is blocked off?
