Hay all,
Been thinking about changing power steering pump/reservoir to a all in one unit like a common saginaw version (older commodore) OR something else, 2 less pipes, more power, much more simple set up, less leaking.

Anyone bothered doing this yet? This is my next mod.

Cheers NAT

I have gone to a commodore steering pump in my county, it came attached to an LS1 for easy fitting....

Yes, the pump works well with the rover 3 bolt box i was using even though it runs a higher pressure i beleive. I just needed to get the rover line on the high presure feed side adapted to the feed line from the pump by enzed, I am using a rangie rover plastic reservoir because i have the alternator mounted in the standard commodore position, the feed line being low pressure just uses hose clamps and fits up ok and being smaller then the old county res its much neater and doesnt leak! But i have had a few issues with the box having excessive play and weeping seal(from prior to the swap), i have replaced it a couple of times to try and get one that was better but seems i cant seem to find a decent 3 bolt so i am getting a new 4 bolt for it instead.
