how did you mount it to hit?
ok im using a 60 chassis, but 80 box and holden pump.
and mines miles away.
im wondering what pump will fit?

im not sure on the comment above though, the higher revs i give mine the easier the steering seems to be?
unless mine is different?
but from VN-VR im pretty sure the power steer pump is the same unit.

are you sure they are speed sensitive? they look just like your everyday power steering pump?

60's have wider rails than 80's and lux's ;)

Love to see how you mount it, I'm going to have to do the same.
