Wagner IM on 3b engine

[SE_30]

In my type 85 90q I've had fitted a Wagner IM on my 3b engine, little problem to overcome. I now have the power steering pump touching the underside of the IM. This is causing a tension issue for the belt adjustment. What we have at the moment is the original type 85 pump and bracket modified to fit the 3b.

Has anyone who's done the same to their type 85 chassis cars had the same issue. I've not got the other problem which sometimes occurs where the IM sits high in the bay and fouls the bonnet relief

Thanks in advance.

Use a PSP belt that's 10mm shorter than the one you have, this makes it tension at the bottom of the adjusters range rather than the top. Should give you a bit more clearance.

This is the belt that worked on my 3B with Wagner IM

What you need to do is upgrade the power steering pump.....

I have learnt things since your car lol....

Get an S2 pump and bracket. Open it up and remove the veins from the front half of the pump.



Then as above use the shorter belt.

You will need to have a custom power steering hose made up from pump to rack.

Top man Brian, is the pump from a urs6 the same, I'm thinking it will be? I have a aby bracket at home.. Just the hose to purchase then..
