Sounds as though thats needed to keep your corsa PAS pump. If your using the XE pump then i cant see any reason why youd need it

No it moves it closer to the block as to not foul the rad. I've had to use it on my xe corsa

not sure then, from any conversion I have done there wouldnt be room for it.

Can't find anything on google either, as im intrigued

Be ideal if you dont need a bracket as im sure I will do another conversion at somepoint in the future

Best pic I got of 1 fitted, just brings the pump closer to block, so can fit into corsa, will need shorter v-belt to go with it too
