If you've got hydrulic PAS then the bracket you need is £45 from chris astly, don't know where people are getting £90 from:
http://www.chrisastleymotorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=32
You need a C20xe pump, watch out which one you get though because one type has a straight inlet and another has a 90 degree bend.
And £50 for a pump is about 3 times too much unless it's brand new. In which case it's a bargain.

attaches to std corsa pipes aswell if you put a couple of washers into the pump. works well aswell. mount on battery tray job is a good one.

Aye, I paid £17 delivered for an XE one off here not long ago. Are the 8v's the same pumps then?
