are tthe manual brackets off a 19 or megane. think i have a set kicking around.

They're off an 1.7 19 or volvo.

Full parts list for this is already available? Have you found another way of doing it?

Doesn't look like the same way that Northy's Cup runs. That looks normal apart from the idler pulley.

[u33db]

Cup racers use a different manual rack and a 'dummy' pump...same belt length etc as std though. Don't know why - the above setup is genuine renault and was around before the cup racers...

Gunner, is that the water pump pulley in the bottom of the second pic, with the belt running the wrong side of it?.... ...and binned the tensioner pulley for the adjustable altinator brkt.

Is yours a willey or a valver, i.e. wide track or not.

Reason im asking these questions is coz, just done a manual conversion and I'm kinda stumped on belt routing (still running the pump at mo with man rack, just re-cercing) and dont recon I'll be able to get it tracking right with a safe amont of thread engagement in the rod ends.

Could do with any help coz I'm throwing my toys out the pram at the mo.

Cheers, Jonny

You sack the aux pulley and remove the power steeering pump.. and then use a shorter belt.

the ps pump can seize up when dr! so be careful!

[Jonny1]

Have you got the belt running the wrong side of the water pump pulley wheel though?...
