Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
OK today Samurai steering box removed to fit early Jimny box [part number 48600-81A20]. Jimny box will not fit without some spacers as it fouls the chassis member. Is this usual?

Re: Bracket for Power Steering Pump
Have drilled a 10mm hole 60mm from the top one and given the bracket some paint.
Should fit now.

Bracket for Power Steering Pump
I purchased this bracket, from a Vitara I believe, to find centre to centre of holes is some 20mm different to fixing holes on block. My logic suggests I should line up the centres of the crankshaft pulley and pump pulley, see how the holes relate and drill new holes if necessary. Can anyone offer c...

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
Moving on to alternator upgrade I plan. As expected, distance between fixing lugs on existing bracket will clash with fittings on purchased alternator. We are investigating solutions. 20240330_101854(0).jpg Edit note: Inside dimension between fixing lugs on new alternator is 68mm Outside dimension o...

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
My experience of the electric hydraulic pumps when combined with the Jimny steering box is that it’s usually quite rubbish and the steering is still heavy, people used to use the PSA units. I would just fit a suzuki based, engine driven pump using a kit. It’s a simple and reliable set up that’s pro...

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
My research into power steering led me to look at the "electric hydraulic" system fitted to various models of Volvo. Video on Youtube of one fitted to a LHD Samurai. What else does one do when it is pouring with rain!! Interesting set up that I shall look at further and report back. VOLVO....

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
View onto steering box area.
Alternator wiring will require modification as have upgraded alternator spec: View onto power steering bracket area.
