I have a mounting bracket for a power steering pump with mounting bolts. Hard to find part and needed for conversion to power steering from manual. Pics on request. $100US + shipping from 99204 SOLD

Hi,
Just wondering if the power steering bracket is still for sale?

If he has already sold it I have a complete setup.

Hi: Yes the bracket is still available. You can PM me for details or email at dk.kellmanlaw@gmail.com

Stephen, if you are converting from no power steering car to power steering car - the bolt that holds the bracket for fluid reservoir (not the pump you ask for, for fluid tank) has a different length than without power steering. It is longer with power steering. It is important as this bolt is part of timing chain guidance system.

Not sure what Pawel is referring to. In order to mount the power steering pump & fluid reservoir, the bracket that I have for sale is required. The one I offer comes with all the required mounting hardware. Thanks. Don

Don, sorry, I was referring to the screw that goes through the hole in the fluid reservoir bracket, next to No. 90 on the picture. It is important to know about this screw's length difference when you install P/S and not everyone realizes it is there. This is why I made this remark not referring to your offer (bracket for pump), but rather to conversion process in general.

Pawel: Got it, thanks!

Do you still have one for a 1965 MB 230SL?

EDIT: Just realized that was a really old post by Pawel.
Hi Pawel. Can you please elaborate a bit more on the length of that particular? In rebuilding my motor, I noticed how close the timing chain is to the cover housing and I measured and trimmed a bolt so that it had clearance with the timing chain after installation through the bracket and sealing washers (because I seem to have misplaced the original bolt that goes there). Is there something more to that bolt other than not having it too long so it clears the timing chain? You mention it is important part of the timing chain guidance system so I wonder if I need to look again in my nuts and bolts for something more specific at this location.
Thanks
Drew
