BCB Scout 80/800 Power Steering Pump 4 Cylinder Bracket

[The Fleckster]

Hi everyone,

Here are pictures of our Scout 80 and 800 power steering pump bracket. Its designed currently to accept a standard Scout 2 power steering pump and bracket and allow you to simple bolt on a pump to a 152, 196. Future plans may allow just the pump to bolt up, with no scout 2 bracket needed. This is the prototype but will resemble the finished product. I need to verify it fits on a 196 motor as it was designed on a 152. I also would like to verify it will bolt into a Scout 80. You will notice the stock air inlet vent flange on the core support can't be retained. The pump sits high enough to clear a standard steering column and a modified column.

The production version will most likely include another bolt on brace for stability as this one is able to move ever so slightly. I am not sure on the final price yet but I am shooting for the $125-$150 Range. Cost variances between Stainless, Regular steel, Aluminum, numbers manufactured in, and tooling will determine the final price.

Please give me your thoughts, ideas, concerns, etc on this product
Thank you for your help

Planning is in the works for the first production batch. I implemented Just In time Inventory practices in 2008 when I incorporated to manage the resources and offerings.
With that in mind I would like to get a firm commitment to purchase so I can carefully plan the expenditures involved. In today’s economy it’s just not possible to built huge runs and let them sit on a shelf waiting.
Please contact me at 360-377-4979 to reserve yours now. The first 10 customers will receive free shipping.

Thanks and best wishes
John

so the cost is for the bracket, not the pump and anything else correct? Any idea how much to do the whole bit? I am slightly afraid of the modification as my 66 800 only has 76k miles orig on the 152 engine, but where I live I could drive her much more with power steering. Also am a little worried about bogging that dog motor down any more. Any feedback?
