Thanks , but you must have a different pump bracket?  or
My belt is 48.5 long? which is ok , but width Is slightly  too narrow ,mine came from Advanced Auto part number 48513. A wider belt will require longer length of unknown amount. Not too much adjustment on their bracket.
My Borg kit  is from CJ Pony Parts Nov 2016 order date. Maybe things have changed ?

Was able to do a first  short test drive today, very happy with the Borg box. No issues at all, tight turns no problem.
Nice not to have the slop of my old stock  power steering. Very tight without any looseness. NICE
Only issue that I still need to work out is the new belt ,its too narrow and squeels  if turning wheel with out moving forward. I have a power steering pully from old power  system. Does anyone have a part number for the correct belt ? Gates or other ?
Ive tried several belts and still not quite correct. too long, too short, too wide,not wide enuff....
Also I went with  all new manual steering parts from Chocostang, was originally a power steering car, kept the old pitman arm, other than that all new pieces.
I was able to extend the return line and ran it down under and thru the old original hose bracket then back up to the front where I installed a 13 inch cooler vertical in front of the radiator to the driver side attaching it to the old radiator mount bolts on the side . That seems to work well also. Hope this info helps others.
Thanks to all who have posted on this site as its been helpful to me.

Hello
I'm about finished with my Borg install on a 65 fastback.
Everything went smoothly except that I have a fluid leak at the hi pressure connector at the pump. Have  not even started the car and it leaks already. Cant tighten the connector any more than it is.
Other than that I'm mounting a cooler in front of the radiator just in case  ,while I'm thinking of a way to tighten up that high pressure nut on the hose...any ideas?

p.s. my kit came with a kinda  plastic spacer insert for the bottom of the column.

Ive been following your Borg install..hows things going now? like it?
Wondering if anyone has kept the old pump with this setup and do you like it?
Also planning on Mustang Steve bearing at column end, any one got any pointers on installing it and making room for it?

Thanks Wayne50f1
