Nick Jones Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Now accumulating parts to convert to PAS.....Now have rack, pump, pump front bracket, X-member and most pipes (thanks Carl!)Also the "new " engine has the correct front plate and I have a PAS pulley - though that'll need modifying to accept a trigger wheel.So, list of parts still needed issteering armstrack rod endsrear pump bracketspecial bottom rad hose arrangementBeltLower column & rubber coupling (or Stag lower column? Does that work?)Have I missed anything out? Anyone got any of the above gathering dust?CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows40 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The bottom hose arrangement is just steel tube with small length of pipe either side, very easy to sort out.cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Borris Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 NickI found a lack of clearance between the rad and the PAS pulley, which is why I used that pressed tin trigger wheel. And the pulley wheel is made from a kind of cast metal that breaks easily and which doesn’t like a thread in it too!I also think that because the trigger wheel (if fitted in front of the PAS pulley) is quite outboard of the the crank pulley and the damper, the trigger can get it's own inertia which causes the rubber in the damper to "wobble" and can give a slightly erratic signal, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit foxed about what the bolt originally held it all together on the original car would have looked like though. Academic in this case as that'll get machined down to a shallow spigot to centre a trigger wheel and the bolt will be the ordinary type.Andy,There is room for both pulleys and the trigger wheel but not, I suspect, the fixed fan as well (and no way a viscous fan). I'd managed to get the single pulley and trigger wheel on with the original fan before so now I'm going have to go electric. Law of unintended consequences kicking in again...... :-/CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
