Hi.
Has anyone managed to fit their original VW T3 PAS pump to their new Subaru engine? Are there any conversion mounts/pulleys available?
Cheers m' hearties!

Just use the Subaru pump and adapt/replace the lines as required.

Exhaust uses that mount, plus as you say new longer hoses required. Where would I even think about getting them from?

I used the Subaru pump, and the VW line that has the baffles in. A Hydraulic shop (does diggers and stuff) made up the adapters/hoses to fit it all in.

Then what I did, was fill the system... and hadn't tightened the join half way up the van, to my dirt floor in the barn is a LOT less dusty :ok

I also made the subaru pump quite noisy, because it got a lot of air in it. Still... just sounds super charged now :-)

Duct Tape can't fix stupid, but it can MUFFLE the sound.
