Ok you gearheads.
What would it take to, and how would you mount an extra power steering pump to a disco 2. I have been mulling this over since March and this is what I want to do.
I want to add an extra ps pump for a mile marker I will use 1500 psi / 3.5ish gpm pump (used/salvaged) and an electro magnetic actuator on the pully (used/salvaged) (a'la air conditioner compressor) to activate it from the cab when needed so as not to sacrifce gas mileage but get all I can out of the winch.
This setup will not alter and screw up the delicate relationship of the stock steering system. But the added pump will be there when I need the winch but unobtrusive when not in use.
Thanks in advance.
