The longer inlet shouldnt do any harm. Apparently correct inlet length can have a significant affect on the power delivery.
#872: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 2:25 pm ---- Steering pump arrived today. Needs a bracket to mount it and the cap is damaged so I need to soucre a new one. They don't seem to be available as a part on their own. If anybody knows where I can get one let me know.
Arrived a bit dirty...
A bit cleaner now. I also fitted the remains of the original 206 pressure hose from the old pump.

#874: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 4:22 pm ---- That's my 14 year old Halfords socket set. Just the imperial sockets have light corrosion on the inside of them!
#875: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 4:22 pm ---- Same pump as mine mate, when you do the loom, fuse it before and after the relay as they draw a hi current. You'll need the bracket that should of come with it off a 106 as it's got rubber mounts to stop it vibrating.
#876: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:01 am ---- Yes the clips round the pump have the rubber on it. Is there any difference between Saxo and 106 pumps and brackets? I think the Peugeot bracket might be slightly cheaper.
I notice the current draw when I tested it yesterday. To make sure it worked one thick cable and a thinner one direct to the battery resulted in the thin cable getting quite warm!
It also needs a new cap and I'm hoping the caps are the same as the cars with a seperate reservoir as you can but new caps for those types.
You got any clear pictures of your bracket? I'm thinking it might need to be attached partly to the original airbox braket for extra support at the side.
#877: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 12:39 pm ---- I haven't mate I'll get some at the weekend for you it's sort of at a L shape so fits in the corner by the old air box at the bottom of the metal work were the abs pump is sitting on think they used 10mm cable for the loom
#878: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 1:33 pm ---- Just looked at your picture from a couple of pages back. I can see how it's mounted. Your crossmember has definately been cut to fit that radiator.
#879: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:15 pm ---- I no, as I wanted it pushed forward and down so I had as much clearance as possible for the fan and the air flow to the inlet it doesn't go lower than the bumper so it's not a problem. You also need the room to mount the pump were I have mine

thats doing quite well then considdering, my bits have competley rusted now only a few years old, all tools get cleaned after each use
#881: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 2:16 pm ---- Also as you can see, some of the bigger imperial socket are like new. They do get damp occasionally when it starts to rain and I'm using them outside. They do get looked after though.
You need to use the tools a bit more, that will keep the rust off them!
#882: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 2:15 pm ---- More goodies arrived today. Nyloc nuts and bolts to mount the steering pump bracket which should arrive this week. Also ordered stainless steel OMP bonnet pins. Decided on these because they just need simple holes drilling to fit them.
Ordered it from Demon Tweeks on Friday afternoon and it arrive by this morning. Not a bad price either at £21.75 delivered.
#883: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 3:52 pm ---- IMO mate your Gunna reck the look of your car if you fit them pins. they look gash they look ok on track car that's batterd and not in mint condition, I thought you were Gunna go a different direction to what I've done? As you found away to mount the bonnet catch?
#884: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Nov 06, 2012 12:56 am ---- The catches are small and will work perfectly. They are far easier to fit than Aerocatches too.
I'm binning the bonnet catch and the release lever and cable. Going to buy an aftermarket bonnet alarm switch to replace the original.
Keeping some of the original slam panel just to support the front grille.
#885: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Tue Nov 06, 2012 1:30 am ---- Lol fair enuf mate. I knew you would end up using pins as it's the only way of doing it so you get a good air flow with out blocking the intake I personsly wanted pins as they look cool aswell as do the job.
