Powerslave Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hi all As part of my TD5 -> V8 Auto conversion, I need some part numbers. The current steering pump mount I have is much larger and more complex than necessary as it originally also accommodated the ACE and aircon pumps. If I could use a different mount, I could also use an old school thermostat housing cover HRC1554 with Nige's Thor Thermostat Conversion Kit which should make it easier to use a Defender V8 radiator with standard hoses. The current ACE/PAS/aircon mount fouls this housing cover. On the subject of radiators, I see that ESR76 and ESR203 are likely candidates. They have come up for discussion many years ago on here, but with no clear winner. Does anyone know the difference between these two and/or know which would best suit the application? I would rather pick something that is meant to bolt in as I am buying new. Fingers crossed! regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerslave Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I've machined the existing mount so that it just houses the PAS and I'll post that up in the build thread. I've ordered a radiator to 'suck it and see'. I'll post what I find here in case it helps anyone in future. regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 If it's got ACE does that mean it's Disco2 / p38 era and therefore no dizzy + serpentine belts? Both my 4.6's I just cut the end off the PAS+Aircon bracket casting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
