    Sweet Rear Mount Power steering pump HELP!!!!

    I just switched to a rear mount Sweet setup and am having some problems. I am using a Bert Bellhousing and Sweet mount. The pump is hiiting the Standoff on the Bellhousing and not allowing me to tension the belt. It looks like my options are to make a new bracket that moves the pump away from the bellhousing or gring the bellhousing down to allow for pump clearance. Has anyone dealt with this before. Or if anyone can get me a picture of their setup it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have an older Quartermaster B/H, used the front block mount for the old tandem pump and drilled new hole, used 720 belt works great. Carefull and don't overtighten belt will cause pump to overheat. If you have the new stock type fuel pump mount, run the pump turned up a bit to keep the oil off the top of the fuel pump diaphram.

      I had the same problem . The older bert bells have that standoff. I ended up using another new bell it fit with no issues . Thinking you would be fine grinding it off thats what i was gonna do .

        You need to make 2 bushings to go between bracket and bellhousing. Will need to be around 3/8" long.

          Thanks for the advice but the problem ended up being wrong pump. Sweet sent the dealer the wrong pump. The dealer contacted Sweet and they sent the bracket that went with the pump. Now everything fits.
