Can you share us the ebay link for that mount?
and the febi cames as an OEM part? Strange, as the others (mounts) were not so healthy as OEM
Yes mate, let me dig it out!

Now that's a fast trolley!
I did that with mine, ended up f**king it off and just ceramic coated the b******s 😂
Nice thread this 👌🏼 just a tip, be careful with these pumps as iv fitted the same one and it's pulled my aux belt out of alignment. May want to double check it whilst your engine is still out 👍

Ahh that could be my issue then. I'm about a rib out with mine so sounds about right👌🏼Thanks mate, engine back in bay now 😂 However i did notice that they painted (liberally) the mating flange, so I removed all the paint (like nearly 1mm thick in places) with a blade and belt seems fine at the moment. I have had the engine running and so far so good but will 100% give it a good eyeballing! Cheers for the heads up.

Yeah iv left mine as it's a ballache to remove again. It's trashed a tensioner and itl jump a rib from time to time so just worth double checking mate 👍That sounds quite a bit out, wonder if they have done something odd when building the pump? I'll definitely take a good look at mine and will let you know if its the same, I don't fancy changing the pump in the car tbh
So its best to leave the bearings in while soaking in the deox? Since they'll just get new ones anyway.
Car looks great, man after my own heart.
I second the warning about power steering pumps the tolerances are 1mm. Engine dynamics wouldnt fit mine because it was out. You can adjust it with a hub puller if it's out, but definitely worth checking it!
I know mate - more importantly it might chip some paint and then it would be game over, not doing this again ffs haha. Before running the engine next I'll give it a good looking at. Thanks again for the heads up.It would be a shame for the belt to come off and take the engine with it all because of a couple mm. If you're going to this effort makes sense to check it now.
Yeah leave the bearings in and its absolutely fine. Or coat the surface you dont want the deox to attack with a thick greaseSo its best to leave the bearings in while soaking in the deox? Since they'll just get new ones anyway.
Your lucky! You can check it on the bench, I've got to crawl under the murder machine to find out the good/bad news - shittest game show everIll most likely be getting a new pas pump so now I have more to worry about on top of rebuilding my rack lol
Cleaning p0rn.
Love it, I dont have the motivation to do anything now a days.
Would love to pay someone to do that stuff
Haha nope, no spring compressors required with cooksports! Good to know for future reference anywayThen onto the fun part - its only fun because for once my hands weren't filthy after and the Cooksports look pretty

Then outside to use the worlds oldest spring compressors

Although after compressing the springs i'm not convinced they are needed with the cooksports....
Then a quick feed of the scrap man. Now lockdown really hit home because this lot sat here for over a week right in the middle of it all! Normally it would have been gone within the hour

So that rust converter is basically the same as Kurust? It converts to a blue colour?
