Powersteering question

Post by Wondermike »

Maybe a stupid question but can't find the answer.
Is the powersteering unit for a LHD and RHD E21 the same?
If not, can someone post a pic of the RHD version please.

Thanks!

Nope, the RHD one is a mirrored version of the LHD example.

Thanks, i thought so but never saw a picture of it.

Defo have a problem getting the linkage to the other side of the enginebay when running a M20 engine..... :mrgreen:
Must be a tight fit then with the exhaust running on the same side.

the pump on a rhd m20 engine is mounted on the inlet side(left side) below the alternator between the left hand chassis rail and the block.
