Smile AK power steering
Hi Guys.This question may have been asked before but I missed it. What pump and power steering rack can be fitted to the AK with a Rover V8 engine? I know Ken supplies one but I have now retired and the pension isn't great. Any info would be appreciated. Wheelnutter

The PS gear they supply on the later kits is a BMW E34 column and rack to suit. Give Ken a bell is your best bet.

And the mountings and position are different from the manual rack also.


You can however use any PS pump within reason.......

I believe that the early versions were as you say a Vectra LHD fitted upside down but the two in my Garage circa 2006 definitely have the BMW logo cast into them.

Cheers,

Tony
