NF Hydraulic pump mounting issues.
OK Guys, what am I missing here?
Trial fit mount of the unit on the 126 resto project and I have no clearance between the pump pulley and the cylinder mount parts.
I have tried shimming the pump mount up by 3/8" and it looks like I will still have to trim the corner from the hyd cyl support bracket (part#6) and even then, the pulley will be right up against the end of the cylinder.
Do I have some incorrect parts here for this application or what. The belt is a new one from Charlie. I can't be the only one to have had this problem....but on second thought, there is that darn DeSoto out there!!
How about some pic's of this area on your NF's so I can get to the bottom of this.
Pictures are w/3/8" shims installed, if I take 'em out, it's even worse. Only thing I can see to do is round the corners of part #6, but then there still the cyl to deal with. The 3 frame mount holes are correct and were factory punched.
I made a duplicate bracket, this is the original one that came with the unit. I had wondered how that gouge got there, now I know!
