Manual Power steering issue

Post by saxiaq »

I have a corsa b 1.2L 8v Shell fitted with Isuzu 1.5TD and want to fit a power steering. A manual power steering is what I need. Should a 1.4L 16v steering rack fit? I think there souldn't be any probs except that I have to fit an isuzu pump.

Am I on the right track, please state any opinions. I appreciate :)

Thanks

instead of mucking about with pumps and wot not, why dont you fit electric powersteering?
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Hi, in fact a friend of mine just crashed his corsa 1.4 16v and offered me his power steering rack. That is why I am asking if this fits ok on a 1.2L 8v shell. I have the pump already which was given when I bought the engine.

yes mate it will fit, will be a bit orquad to change tho with the engine still in place, i put power hydraulic power steering out of a 5 door corsa into a pre 97 corsa sport and that fitted straight up.
