360GLT Power Steering
I have a 1983 360GLT but find the steering a bit too heavy for an old man! I bought a power steering rack and pump from a later car but I need a three-belt crankshaft pulley to drive the beast apparently. I tried one from a 240 but it doesn't fit the crankshaft...
Does anyone have clue about the variants of pulley in use? My garage tells me that the existing pulley(two-belt) fixes with three bolts and/or a centre bolt and that there may be a three-belt version? Any advice appreciated. This is the second GLT I have owned, the first back in the 90's that was a D reg I think. |

You will need a different UJ, track rod ends and track rod arms all of which are no longer available.
Have you tried running the tyre pressures slightly higher? |

360 GLT PS conversion
Thanks for that...I have all the steering parts including those that you mention...but the correct pulley to drive the pump seems elusive. Increased tyre pressure helps, but if I can have proper power steering it will make the old girl so much more driveable.

I will see if my brother will send me a photo of the pulley on his 360 as it has power steering.
