I seem to have a problem.. Ive fitted my ABF into the mk2 but there seems to be clearance issue with the power steering pulley has anyone else had this ?? Will go get a pic and show how close it is in a min..

Also my power steering reserviour is fouling my o2a box any ideas ? just move it along chassis leg a bit more ?

take off the thing that is between reservoir and chassis, and shorten it as much as u can to have it closer to chassis, but not too much so u can pyt your screws in it

Mine is also very tight and I'm using a Toledo subframe and front crossmember. You could try lowering the front mount, this should give you more clearance if its catching on the top of the pulley.

Or you could swap to the other alternator mount with the tensioner spring underneath, so no extra pulley.
