Oops sorry, my mistake. It should have read power steering 'box'. The VN pump is nicely nestled into its VN bracket which tucks it a bit closer to the engine than the older HQ - WB version. The box however hits the A/C compressor so its got to go. The compressor location is just too perfect to give up, so I'm going to install a Blacks Racks set up to avoid the A/C compressor.

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the pictures on post 139?

Ive looked at those blacks racks, but wow they are not cheap. They look well engineered, just plug and play. Will be interested to here how much difference they make to the steering, may just be worth the purchase price.

Hi Alien

I'm using Google Photos which is normally ok. I did notice an odd URL string when i loaded the pics yesterday but they displayed ok after posting so i thought everything was ok. Is there an issue?

First jobs first, I need to sort out my engine bolt on bits that started last summer. After some soul searching, i had to agree with Vombil's earlier suggestion of using VN - VT bits to tuck everything away. So after scouring wreckers for days, i struck a gold mine at Ozwreck and have raided their old hidden parts shelf for VN - VT brackets and pulley assemblies. Got things sorted over the weekend and very happy with the result. The A/C tucks under really well and it just looks way better to my eye. Just need to finalise the alternator setup and then its off to powder coating with everything....I'm sick of looking at rusty bits!! Also, for those that are observant, yes the power steering box doesn't fit any more so i have to convert to rack and pinion steering to run this setup. Ah well, off to Castlemaine Rod Shop i guess........

Do the pics show up in this post?
