I will be watching this, keep up the good work.
Ps, never liked the front arb set up, it handled well on Billy's but I kept them on my loon, plus the arms etc are all polybushed. I hope you have plenty of enjoyment out of her.

Cheers Dan, ye with all that weight on the front it needs an arb, I noticed today some cracking on the front crossmember where the tie rods bolt on so gonna cut the old one out and fabricate a custom one out of box section as well, She's been trying to tear herself apart by the looks of it.Originally Posted by Balley
Arh really, that's a shame! At least you can do it your self. The original cross member started cracking on me years ago. I thought I had sorted that though.
For sure mate,
Collected the HP pipe from the hydraulics place today that they modified for me, only charged £40 so very happy with thatwas a bit of a fiddle getting the unions done up on the rack but got there in the end and it fits perfect.
Made the bracket for the pump by heating up and bending 2 x 16" lengths of threaded rod into basically massive U bolts which will be bolted to the bulkhead infront of the Heater motor [Only place it would fit], then found some old rubber fuel pipe to insert the U bolts into.
Quickly wired it up to the battery just to test it's all working before I start stripping the dash out to wire it all up and Fcuk me does it make a difference! can steer it with 1 finger now
Went for a spin round the block and hasn't had any effect on the steering at speed so I'm guessing the PAS pumps on saxo's/Pug 106's are load sensitive and don't use speed sensors. Winner!
Will get pics and vid up over the weekend.
2 Brackets for the PAS pump made from 16" threaded rod & rubber fuel line
Decided to mount the pas pump on the bulkhead behind the inlet manifold [Only place it would fit]
more updates and pics over the weekend
Damn I thought the pumps were smaller than that!
I wasnt really happy with it behind the inlet manifold, it looked sh1t so decided to mount it under the passenger side scuttle panel.
Perfect fit and after drilling 2 holes in the bulkhead for the HP & return pipe the hoses are a lot neater and all the wiring is now hidden :D
Also theres no fouling of the wiper mech, plenty of room.

How are you going to fill the reservoir? I was under the impression that it needs to be completely full?
The fill mark is only halfway up the neck so just put slightly more fluid in than normal.
Been a bit slow on the updates as waiting for parts so have been doing some bodywork & started stripping the inside out ready for soundproofing.
New boot is almost finished, once this goes on there'll be no locks at all so if anyone's got a load of quarter light glass for me just incase the battery goes flat
New suspension will be going on over the weekend too
