different steering pump

[Pirana]

Has anyone ever tried this?just to be curious....

I'm cleaning up the engine compartment in advance of upgrading to the hydroboost while waiting for my rear discbrakes.

i didn't like the big saginaw style thing so as a metalguy in a bodyshop you get to notice some nice items now and then,so i found a small rectangular pump from a Volvo S80.
it's only 3 inches square and delivers a max of 110 bar(about 1600 psi) and has a hidden adjustment screw on the bottom,wich i hope to adjust flow and not pressure.

a visit to the local salvage resulted in two items.

here's how it lookes like as sanded and polished,the other one is still matt so i can choose either way.
originally it's fitted with a multirib belt pulley wich i took of to replace with a v -belt type.

it should be interested to get this working i guess...

Louis, you should also post the other pic (compare to the original) to give people an idea of it's size.....
