    Power Steering delete - what size belt?

    I have a standard alternator pulley, a UUC water pump underdrive pulley and no power steering pump at all. Anyone know what size belt I need for this application? Where can I order it from?

    Thanks

    What did you do to delete the power steering? I've heard of people just packing the rack with grease and capping it off, and others running lines to a reservoir so the fluid can still lubricate the rack.

      Use a 6PK1420 (or maybe it was a 1400.....). That's the one that I have on my motor. I just ran the lines from the rack to the reservoir.

          i bought a modified 316 non power steering rack from a kid on the board here some time ago. Its from a german bmw taxi, haha.

          not driving the car yet, but will sure turns nice in the driveway.

              1420 will work for stock pullies. I needed a 1460 with an underdriven alternator and waterpump.

              BTW - a search would have turned this up, I think.
