	i am converting my r100 to mgf power steering. Its coming along well atm, ive worked out how to keep the standard storks etc, but as ive made the mount for the motor, I'm thinking, how much rotational force will the motor provide? I'm worried it will tear the original mount off the shell, its quite decent thought be fair but its only bolt centre of like 4". There dosnt seem to be any way obvious to me to strengthen it up, maybe tomorrow i can see a way but atm I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone done this to a r100 before, or has done ps conversions that could help me? thanks

	I'm no expert but I've done a couple of Corsa setups. I put a torque arm on, nothing massive but something to take the twisting effect off the mount that holds it up. I'm sure there's better ways but they worked.

	thanks yes, but there dosnt seem to be much to goto with the arm, but i have found the standard mount unbolts, so i welded bits to it to make it a lot stronger, then i will look harder for a torque arm mount place. i put it back as it was as i reolised the two mgf units i have are different, so one was cut up to test, and the other i don't have the right bits to put on the car. so itll do for another day.
