Power Steering Motor
A couple of thiings have been figured out regarding the small electric motor I purchased to run the power steering and A/C. The bolts that I used to mount the adapter plate to the transmission actually are the same thread pitch and size as the interior of the P/S pulley. However, the pulley needs to run counter clock-wise so if I used the threads it would probably unbolt itself over time. Alternatively, before the threads the pulley has a hexagonal opening and a 3/8″ punch fits perfectly into it. I assume then that a 3/8″ allen key will also, or a nut that is 3/8″ outer width.
The other trick though is that the motor shaft is reverse threaded. So what I really need is a nut that is reverse threaded and the appropriate inner diameter to mate to the motor shaft while having an outer width that is 3/8″. I don’t know that they make those so I may need to but a reverse tap and a make my own.
