Dear colleagues,

I am trying to put a power-steering system from an American 85' RX-7 FB into my 1983 European car. My car got a replacement enging from an 85' RX-7, so I bought a whole system from a US-vendor. The system I bought is the one without the long cooling-pipes that extend to the front of the car and it was delivered with a re-manufactured power-steering pump. Now everything fits well except for one specific problem:

I don't see how the belt-wheel fits on the power-steering pump. On the shaft of the pump there is a little gearwheel but there is nothing it could grab into in the belt-wheel. Maybe there was something missing from the shaft after they remanufactured the pump?

I also have a bag with all screws and all the other parts but something seems to be missing. Its hard to figure out without seeing the installed system for comparison, but in Europe there are no cars with power-steering. Could somebody provide me with detail-pictures of his installed power-steering system or with a parts chart, so I can see how the unit installs?

I include two pictures of the parts in question.

Thanks a lot and kind regards,

Daniel

 

wrong pulley to fit..(that pulley needs a power steering unit that takes a 'key-way").
solution: find the right pump or find the right pulley.

 

Thanks, were these pumps used on FB's at all? I think I know what kind of pulley you mean, but I have only seen those on FC's. Any suggestion where I could find the right pulley? It would be a waste to get another pump as this one is (rebuild) brand new.

Kind regards,

Daniel

 

You could always check if the FC pulley works?
