Default New age PAS pump to Early GC8

Hi

Im hoping to get some info, Im doing a pas pump and front entry conversion to my V2 RA can anyone tell me if..

The unions on the GC8 rack are the same size as the New age PAS pipes?
Will the new age PAS high pressure pipe work be long enough.

Any other tips or advise would be much appreciated

Steve

You can have your own pipes made or you can use whatever supplied, the union (metal bolt for pump) from classic will fit into newage pump but may need twisting/bending into angle to fit comfortably to the newage pump, I did this by gently heating up with a blow torch and slowly bending into angle. However some just have a braided hose made with current size bolt.

Thanks thats given me some ideas, the pump and hoses on a V2 are very different. I might get away with using the blob high pressure hose, failing that I will get V3 hoses.
On the V2 the hose to pump joint is male/female not banjo.

Ah, you hose is different to mine? Wondering if early classics had the gypsy banjo as mine is a v5 and it's correct size for newage pump, albeit needs bending into shape.
I'd rid of ps cooler pipes too, and just use whatever pipes work, normally you don't get the high pressure hose from newage when you buy pump so ask for it or just get a custom braided one.

Many differences on the early top entry turbo cars, if the unions on my steering rack are the same location and size as a blob I have a chance of making the pipe work fit. I'm making the conversion difficult by trying to retain the fifth injector manifold.

I don't know what the plug is like on rack as I've never taken it off to know, but hopefully it's same, if not you can always just chop and make a custom fitting.
