Fabricated a power steering bracket
I wish I would have taken more photos of this process, but really only have the finished product. The jist of this is that I originally had a TRW power steering pump with TRW brackets. The TRW brackets don’t really fit the new replacement Federal pump. I have been trying to find a replacement TRW style pump, without any luck. So the workaround was to cut up the TRW brackets and make them work for the Federal pump. This image shows the minor differences between the 2 pumps… although minor, they presented a challenge.
The TRW bracket didn’t fit the Federal pump in the notched areas. Needed to modify the bracket to work… Lot’s of cutting, welding and grinding and the finished product looks like this:
The bottom bracket was the one that was cut, welded, ground and painted… you’d never know.
