BBC Power Steering Pump Brackets - Location and installation
Having a hard time figuring out how to bolt the brackets onto the power steering pump and then the engine in the right fashion.
Can someone with a BBC maybe take a picture of their pump and brackets on their engine and post it for me to use as a guide?

Mike,
The "outer" bracket goes to the waterpump, the L bent piece goes to the engine and wraps to the side of the engine. If you post a pic I can tell you were it goes... Are these the ones I sent you?

It's not a close up but you can see how I just modified the stock bracket to work with the headers sorta.

I think I have it scienced out. I wasn't sure where the spacer and/or spacers go for the brackets. Figured out one space that fits onto the front of the pump between the pump housing and the bracket and then seemed like there was a need for another one on the backside where the open hook portion of the bracket bolts to the stud coming out the back.
Will take a picture and post it and you guys can maybe tell if I did it right.
Thanks!
