Will a Zetec power steering pump and matching mounting bracket fit a Escort mk4 engine bay with zetec turbo engine or will there be clearance problems ?

Thanks

It fits. I used the Escort mk5/6 PAS parts as well as the alternator with it's mountings.
The alternator was a very tight fit and needed a millimeter to be shaved from here and there to get a gap between the alternator and the radiator.

Thanks for the picture.

I know the CVH alternator set up solves the clearance issues at the radiator but not sure how the belt set up would go , or what size of belt to use plus the idler pulleys.


Stupid question lol but can you run a alternator from a car without power steering on a power steering set up?

JesseT

Here's a few more pictures showing the alternator positioning in a mk3.













Special care should be made to make sure that the alternator can be removed without taking out the entire engine. You can notice that material has been removed from the alternator mount for that.

Think i will go with this set up rather than CVH alternator bracket.

Fantastic help. Thanks again mate, much appreciated.

What did ya have to do to make the rack and coloumn fit ?

What is the alternator mount from and the power steering pump mount please? mk6 Escort Si/GTI??? ... and also what belt does it use?
What a great conversion, will no doubt be in demand on many peoples cars for modernising and tidying up the appearence. Its exactly what Ive been looking for and not yet found...
thanks

^^^^Don't forget thats just the mountings for the alternator and PAS pump, the 'easy' bit.

The rack is the problem. No idea which he used. IIRC mk5/6 doesn't bolt up.

Im mainly worried about how to mount the alternator and power steeting pump, those brackets look spot on but what are they? and a belt to suit?

Also, unless Jesse solid mounted that surely there is still a massive risk of lumping the rad with the alternator?

Mk5/6 Escort set up are all the same. Just use the matching belt to / set up of the car its taken from.

Edited to say Zetec mk5 / 6 Escort the same.

Sure the CVH mk5's fit also but might be wrong? pretty much the same lay out as the zetec tho with pas pump high up

Pretty much standard procedure to change the mounts anyway. Escort mk3/4 mounts are crap at the best of times let alone on a ZT build
