Today I made a start on the electric conversion for the power steering. I need more space between the radiator and engine to add a second fan as in the summer the little 205 radiator with one little fan struggled when I was in traffic and I want to make sure the cooling is fool proof, especially if I add more power.
I am using a saxo / 106 pug unit as it is small ish and doesn't weigh any more than the Ford pump and bracket. I made up an anti vinbration mount to mount it to the inner wing above the chassis leg.
After removing the pas pump I can now see loads of room for the extra fan, I may even get a thicker rad in there, spoox motorsport make a 60mm one with slimline fans, if that fits I will be very happy.
Tomorrow I will whizz in to pirtek and get them to make me up the pressure hose.
Long term I will need a bespoke reservoir bottle.
