It wasn't much bigger than the MC. It needs a power steering pump to supply pressure. Very compact set-up, it was across the firewall, but I bet it would mount well under the floor.
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

If you are also running power steering the same pump can provide power to both.
I think my gas powered motorhome has the same kind of setup, except it was designed to handle a 12,000 pound load. Its too dark and wet out there to go look right now.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
