Power Steering Ressy

There is a nice place to put the res for the power steering on the drivers side of the engine bay.  That places it above the pump and behind the swaybar bushings, so hopefully my days of bad bushings are numbered.  I carefully removed the mount from the passenger side wheel well, cut some parts off of it, added some new parts, and now it bolts to two unused holes that already existed in the drivers side shock tower. 

Accessory bracket

Well the accessory bracket is pretty much done.  It holds the alternator and power steering pump nicely.  I tried to keep the weight low in the car and put the pump at the bottom so it doesn't leak into the alternator.  Hopefully the Audi one doesn't leak like the Porsche system does.  I had a local guy machine a mounting boss for the idler pulley that you can see in the pictures and then welded it into the bracket.  The power steering pump uses three bolts to hold it in like the original Audi mount used and the alternator uses a lower pivot and the adjuster from the Porsche engine.  I had to shorten the adjuster 2.5 inches to make it usable.  Just cut of the nut on one side, cut the tube down to size and weld the nut back on.  The two rod ends needed about .5 inches removed from each end also.  The engine side mount for the adjuster is welded to the bottom of the lifting eye that bolts to the cylinder head.  I don't think I will have any problems with belt squeal, hopefully.  Soon I will drop it by the powder coater and post pics of the bracket by itself.
