Default Fiesta Mk Rs........... Zetec 1.8

Hello Mike & Guys.. Today i finish my job on my `Fiesta mk3 rs1800 / 130bhp 1993 model.. I make it with Power Steering.. It`s A Hard Job mate`s but every one can make it.. I will tell the parts you want !

1: Rack Steering Power..

2: The Bracket that hold the Pump of power steering & Hold the alternator too... (This bracket rivved with the block of the engine rs1800)

3: Complete Column from the Rack through the Steering Wheel, it has the Crosses like the manaul, but the power had a cross inside with Splines & the outer near the engine with a bolt... the Manual does not had Cross with Splines so you need the complete Column with 2 Crosses... `Ps I used the old steering wheel with No Airbag, & i work to the Column of Power Steering)

4: Power steering Pump..

5: The Bottle That Reserve Oil.. (Holds on Right Of the Car)

6: The Complete Pipes it`s Important ( You want 2 pipes from the rack up to the engine top cover, one from top cover through the Oil pump - the other one from top cover through the Main oil Pump. & you want the OIL COOLER it has to 2 pipes, one through the Reserve tank & the other goes on down of the reserve tank..

7: Longer Belt, I use 1260 6pk...


.... The problems that i see :

1: You have to make a bigger hole on the body, because the steering `Power Column, does not through from the manual Hole (Body) & the rubber you can`t use it, you have to put it in the rubbish,, Best opinion, buy a new RUBBER `power steering` or i make a sound proofing to closed the hole (it`s like a double sided tape)...

2: Alternator, you have to use an alternator that does not slided, the power steering alternator does not move up or down, it`s bold on ONLY ! you dont have settings on the alternator when you make it power steering, but you have 2 tensioners,, one of it, the upper one, it has the setting, soo you can put the belt so easier.. `Ps the Alternator of the power Steering had a Smaller Pulley..)

3: && if you can get the Power Streeing , black pipe that goes to the column, it`s better because i had to make a piece of wood between the column & the black pipe... because it move up & down,,!! Think about it !

Hope this Helps, Guysss... Im talking From Rs1800 No Power steering To Make on Rs1800 with Power Steering... Thankss...

Me 3days No sleep,,, but i enjoy my Powerrrrrrr Steering.... Do It Guys...
