  3. Hi all. I fitted a Subaru legacy steering rack 2 years ago sourced from our local wrecking yard for about $40 from memory.Iwanted a pump with the same type V pulley as the s30,so chose one from a low mileage Hyundai Lantra ,which came with the mounting brackets and assorted pipework.As my 240 has an electric fuel pump, iwas able to mount the PS pump in the usual fuel pump location, bolting on an aluminium plate about 20mm thick and then bolting the pump bracket to that.A bit tricky lining up the pulleys and getting the threaded holes in the right place.I used the Hyundai remote steering fluid resevoir mounted under the right side inspection lid [ RHD car]I was aware the inner ball joints were further apart than stock rack,but thought i would try it like that anyway.The car is mainly a weekend cruiser,and is a dream to drive after the old heavy steering.It has shown no problems with steering geometry issues,even on fast bumpy corners.I shortened the Sub rods each side{not sure by how much or what they are called] and threaded to take toyota tie rod ends of a suitable length.There is an issue with one of the fluid nipples hitting the crossmember.As i didnt want to alter the crossmember at that stage,i modified the rack by cutting off the nipple and brazing on the upper side of the pinion housing.Very difficult to get it on in the right position as the rotary port area the hole goes into is narrow.I thought i might have a problem with the cast iron of this part distorting with the brazing,but when the unit was assembled and tested it was ok.I joined up the pipes and ran the pump in my lathe with the rack on the floor,no leaks.On fitting to the car i was ready to do some altering,but nothing needs it.
