Title: Just found a solution for manual PS pulley location
Post by: m1tch on March 10, 2012, 10:25:59 PM
Hi all,

I have just seen the below photo on facebook, it looks like they have bolted an extra pulley onto the front of the main pulley - might be a FD main pulley though? Which then drops the OEM PS pump down a bit to allow for a better routing for pipework! Usually you have to change to a Saxo pump etc, but this is a very clever solution!

I don\'t really know what I\'m looking at but thy is one very clean engine bay! Pretty sure it\'s a late FD with a 13B RE engine, I love that UIM!

Its a gillmor drive pulley/belt system very common in NZ and Aus, makes a nice super charger type noise because of the notched belt , I think you can buy the power steering relocation bracket off the shelf as well.

I\'ve been investigating this for mine relocating the alternator under the PS pump with a completely new bracket arrangement. Still in the computer at the minute but hope to have the parts cut, folded and welded in the coming weeks.

Although it will only work with an electric water pump as well !
