[urq] 3B Conversion + Vacuum Brake Conversion + BenHowell PS

[dgraber460 at aol.com]

Ben's bracket did not work for me with an '83 urq tensioning bracket that 
olted to the water pump in 2 places.
 had to use a later model CGT/4000q bracket that only bolted to the upper 
ater pump bolt.   I am surprised that
thers haven't had this problem.


I encountered the same issue and used same solution.

I was scratching my head a bit yesterday when trying to install the UrQ PS 
pump onto the 3B using the Ben Howell
adapter piece.  Does anyone happen to know if that piece requires the use 
of a different pump from the UrQ original
(like perhaps a Coupe GT)?
>I find that while the line-up is close, when the pump is located to the 
tensioning bracket, the locating pivot bolt does
not line up (off by about 6mm) with Ben's machined bracket.  Additionally 
when the tensioning bracket is there the pump
has interference to the intake manifold.

Howell-adapter and a 3B?
If so - is this just a bend the tensioning bracket sort of thing to make it 
all fit?
Does your tensioning bracket bolt to the water pump in 2 places, or just 1?

rq power steering pump, as we
ave several pumps here and I grabbed what was handy.  I never noticed a 
ifference in those 10v pumps, though.
