STS oil pump mounting solution
Simple and easy. If you have power steering lines running along the crossmember you may run into a mounting problem with the bracket either with the lines or the supplied washers. No problemo. I wanted mine close to the edge of the crossmember (leaving room for the oil return to engine fitting). The supplied washers are too wide and will not clear the power steering lines if you use the holes that are already in the mounting bracket, so, I grinded away the corner of the crossmember to move it closer and made two spacers to use instead of the washers out of 1/2" steel tubing. Works great!
