Replaced PS Pump and added Cooler

Installed the new (remanufactured) Power Steering Pump and the Flex-a-lite Cooler. I also switched back to my original belt length which sets the pump orientated better but puts the belt closer to the lower radiator hose. I placed a piece of PVC pipe around the hose to shield it from potential belt damage.

Will, what did you do for a radiator on your rig?

Josh,

I kept the M's Top and Bottom, but had it re-cored with the core moved to the front of the top tank. This moved the radiator forward with out changing the mounts or top cover. It also gave me the room to recess mount where the core was a Flex-a-lite electric fan

I'm probably going to run a Griffin aluminum unit. I really like the one M series has, but, I refuse to buy anything from Charles (npt trying to start a war, but, I dont agree with him on a lot of things, so I choose not to support him).

Do you have the overall dimensions on yours Will? I sold mine for scrap (had a hole in it) before I measured it... D'oH!!!

I figure I can get away with a 22X22.

The fan is a Flex-a-lite Black Magic X-treme Electric Puller Fan, Model 180. http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/18 ... treme.html

Airflow-Cu. Ft./Min. at 0º Static Pressure: 3300
Mounting Surface Required: 21 1/2" x 17 1/2" x 4 3/16"

It fit perfect side to side (21.5"), and lacked 1/2" covering the full core top to bottom, so the core height is approx 18".
