only problem with the spindle is it would need to bolt up to the bracket just as the pump was as well as having way of attached the spindle to it. i was thinking of gutting the pump and somehow leaving the pulley part where it can still spin freely, never done it so wouldnt no how it would work. might not be seeing this right, do you have any references?
also the alternator swap idea.... not sure if the alternator can fit in the power steering pumps location, arrrgggh
