Making some progress here. Engine is starting to go back together, suspension is all buttoned up, and the fuel tank is back in the car. Coolant pipes and all new hoses go back in tomorrow. The bottom of the car has really "cleaned" up as all the a/c and power steering pipes/lines have been removed.

My local shop is using these 997Cup PS pump mounting brackets in their race cars and I bought one of these to mount on the floor of the front trunk in my car. The bracket is pure jewelry as it's CNC machined from aluminum and consists of a base plate which the round body of the PS pump recesses into. The opening in the bracket use a dual rubber O-rings which snugly cradle the pump body isolating it from vibration transferring nto the bracket. The pump itself is supported via the 3 posts with rubber isolation mounts. Finally there are 4 short rubber "bumpers" that are bolted to the base of the bracket which will further provide NVH isolation (these are not visible in the pictures as they were not installed yet) from the chassis of the car. The whole assembly then bolts to the trunk floor using the existing spare tire mount which is on all the 996 tubs even on the GT cars which do not use a spare tire. This can obviously bolt to anywhere one chooses but I found the spare tire mount to be a great location. My shop also made up a hydraulic hose kit which will make this a simple plug and play installation. I am excited to finally get this in the car.
