I have deleted A/C using the WRC method but i have decided to get rid of the hydraulic PAS and go for EPAS on my 182. But cup set-ups are few and far between and only uses the 75 amp alt which works fine, but with the EPAS using more current it seems wiser to retain the 110 amp alternator, also the PMS PAS delete seems expensive at £100, even though it is a nice piece of engineering. So i had a bit of a think how to this on a budget, so i have mocked up a couple ideas using purely 182 parts, even though i have modified the top bracket with an angle grinder.
First idea using the WRC Saab bottom pulley. Both would be used with an adjustable tie rod to tension the belt (where the tie wraps are).
2nd idea looks like a modified cup set-up, but the distance from the engine pulley to alt seems a bit on the long side.
Do either of theses look safe/reliable, what do you guys think, sorry my garage is such a tip. James
