what you need is a double v bottom pulley and a v pulley pas pump with a conversion plate to mount it to the block

i used the standard double V setup, can still use the big block PAS pump bacause theyre the same iirc, just different brackets and pulleys.
Not dont it before with the multi rib setup you have ordered though

multi rib will usually foul the chassis leg from what i was told when i made some calls into this faz-using the early xe alternator/double-v bottom pulley and pas pump is your easiest option

oh and youll need a pas pump relocation bracket from chris astley or the like...not expensive( it mounts the pump lower on the block iirc),u'd of realised this like i did when the standar multi rib pump sticks foreward too far lol
as a tip though,if you went to a scrappy a 1.8/2.0 8valve pas pump off a cav/mk 3 astra/frontera is the same as the one you require-alternator should do too(thats what i did theres loads of them about)-get the mounting bracket though, and if you want a double-v bottom pulley get in touch mate ...

Any corsa non-pas rack will do. I've got a full Corsa B EPS column with motor, ecu, bits of loom and a box that allows you to adjust how much assitance you get sitting here doing nothing if you want to buy it.

but if you use any corsa rack, you wont get the short lock to lock ratio on it, which is usually the whole idea of it...

if you go electric a single-v bottom pulley
then alternator is your best bet there bud
if your wanting pas and good performance i would go epas,then your not pulling any load off the bottom pulley-although im sure its only minor lol

i know tis a pain to park, but pas in corsa is a bit shit to be honest, fuck going fast and turning the wheel!
i'd rather get buff trying to park then the steering have no feeling and be total toss at speed!
epas is an option but everytime i see a thread on here, it gets no-where, if someone on here has it done, i'd like to see it!!

ive had french electric pas pump fitted for years. does that count? works great.
on another note, if you cant park with a manual rack, then your probably spending too much on hair gel and face creams.
