Some MK3/3.5 Fiestas came with PAS - I wonder if the rack could be adapted?

No it was a standard pas rack off a Peugeot 309, some kind of funky custom bracket for the pump. And a ribbed belt conversion. and I have no idea whether the hoses were off a Peugeot either as I didn't carry out the conversion myself.

It was 10 years ago too lol
