I had a water pump and radiator leak on my MK2. I had all of the work done at a local shop that does great work, but it gets expensive at $85 an hour. I bought all the parts and they installed everything. I bought the radiator from Factory Five. Because of the angled outlet connection, it interfered with the expansion tank I had, which was mounted on the fan shroud. So I got the chrome expansion tank from Jegs. The fan shroud I was using needed to be cut out around both of the angled hose connections. In hindsight, it would have cost me less than half had I bought the fan shroud from Breeze along with Mark's upper and lower radiator mounts and a new fan from Jegs. I went with a polished water pump and that install was uneventful. Since the belt would be off, I had the pulleys changed. Also, since it was in the shop, I had the PS conversion done. I bught my 3 turn LTL rack from Breeze as well as everything else except the pump, the mounting bracket for the pump and the Heidts valve. I went with the Ford Racing "AC Eliminator" bracket and I had to buy the bracket that attaches to the pump as that does not come with the eliminator kit. Power steering works great. Next project is Russ Thompson's turn signal modification. Pic of the car is when I first bought it a few months ago along with the new PS setup.
