    Power steering pump

    I just bought a Factory Five Cobra kit car with no power steering and would like to add power steering to it. How would I go about doing that and how difficult is it to install?

    The answers partly depend on your particular setup. What version Roadster (Mk3, Mk4, etc.) and what engine for starters.

    You have a number of options. Multiple threads on the subject. Here's a recent one. https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...Steering-Mk3-2. Since you posted in the Factory Five Tech area, assume you're looking for a response from Factory Five directly. They don't post here too often though. Your best bet to get a quick response from them would be to call.

    I sent Mark at Breeze an email telling him what I had (Mk1 with 302) and he gave me a detailed itemized list of what I needed to add power steering. I bought everything from him minus the pump and pump bracket. You may want to do the same.

    Also, copy and paste this into a Google search.
    You'll find lots of info.
    Paste everything between the quotes.
