WTB - power steering pump support

[billpatterson]

Hi there

I have found the threads of the lower front threaded mount of my power steering support are pulled. This may explain my belt or pump squealing...maybe. First things first though; any one have one to sell?

Are you able to helicoil the stripped threads? Could be cheaper and quicker than a replacement part.

Time serts would work better as there is quite a load on these bolts Helicoils work ok in very unstressed areas Pretty easy to do, buy a small kit that will have everything to do the job, it will end up being stronger than original

Thanks, Rick

Interesting option. The cost of a basic kit is about 85CAD!

I had the same issue w/stripped PS pump bolt thread in the block, so I converted to the E28 setup:

B35 conversion: Which external parts can you keep?

I have a '91 complete motor with all ancillaries. Based on all the info on this forum, I will be changing the intake system to the log / L-jet style to clear the booster. I also will be using the b35 oil pump with the original pickup and my original oil pan. Apart from that, what can I keep...
