Bracket for removing power steering

[HYBRID_HAZ]

Looking to remove the power steering pump from the F7r lump and I am aware I will need the alternator bracket as fitted to the Renault 5 GTX 1.7.

I know this bracket is also fitted to other Renaults and Volvos. Can anyone advise which makes and models I can get this bracket from?

u dont need a bracket tbh, depends how u wanna do it!!


ive just changed mine to non pas and all i needed was a shorter belt

took pas pump off, left the std tensioner in place but its not used anyway now, just used the black bracket on the side of the inlet manifold, elongated the hole with the alternator is mounted to and tensioned it via that!

belt was a 6pk838 iirc

Have you got a pic of that setup?

If you could please.

Also if anyone can help with the bracket.

btw the alternator uses its std lower mount and upper mount, just the top mount is now the adjuster too!

just used the top black bracket to adjust the tension, by elongating the hole as said.

Looks easy!
Did you change the rack to a non PAS one?
How is it to drive?
Did it release a few ponys?
