Need help with the Corsa XE conversion...
I've got the M-Tech bracket and short belt. I have an XE PAS Pump. I've bought the three bolts that hold it all to the cylinder head. How do i make it all come together? What do i need from the old XE bracket?
Can someone post a pic of how it should look when on the car?
Or even a picture of a standard setup, i could probably work it out from that. Im just not sure if i have all the bolts.

do you have the correct xe pas pump? you need the twin belt set up, not the wider belt

the pump can only mount one way on the bracket. i aint got a pic to show you sadly.
the long bolt goes through the mount then pump and out other side. this part sits to the bottom once fitted. i cant describe it sadly. can you not put pics up?

Just out of interest, where does the original XE bracket foul? I presented it to the engine an it seams to sit OK....its miles away from the offside mount

you have to move it as it sits to low and when you put your tie bars on it hits.
i just saved myself £60 for the mount and lowers the tiebars for about £5
