Powersteering Elimination Bracket for cars with no balance shafts
I'm having some billet aluminum brackets fabricated up for my car. These are what is needed if you are running no balance shafts and no powersteering (like me). Otherwise you have to use a chopped up portion of the balance shaft cover and the factory powersteering pump bracket. Again... this is what's needed so that you can use the alternator/airconditioning tensioner.
I've heard of people using the tensioning device and bolting it up at a severe angle to the boss for the manual cam belt tensioner, but this is "hokie" at best and isn't a solution that I would consider acceptable (especially if the tensioner device breaks and touches the cam belt!)
These are expensive even at a group rate (talking about a quantity of 4 -6 pieces) @ $375.
But... if you want a "clean" and strong solution, this is it. They are going to be fabricated of of a piece of solid billet aluminum and will be one piece.
The place if Valencia Automation and you can see a couple of pieces I've already had fabricated up at the following link: <a href="http://www.tonygarcia.org/oilpressurefittings.html" target="_blank">http://www.tonygarcia.org/oilpressurefittings.html</a>
If anybody wants one, please let me know by 8:00am PST, which is the cut-off time.
