Well, I would not buy the Roe or deal with Roe, that is for sure. I have their power steering brackert and pulley as well s their supercharger, W/M, et cetera. With the Roe power steering bracket and pulley for my GEN II not including instructions, as opposed to their normal poorly written instructions (other do it yourselfers can vouch for this), the pulley comes out too short and isn't noticed. There were three spacers included in the kit, but seeing that the bracket was the exact same thickness of the old one, using the same pump, I figured it might be for a different diameter bracket. I carefully compared bracket thickness and installed it all up and then ran the car for a few hundred miles. I come to find out today as my belt is getting chewed up that the PS pump pulley is too far back. ere the pulley they sell needs makes the bracket need additional spacing and instead of putting this space into the bracket, they use spacers! Well without instructions in the kit, how do you know to even use them-to make it worse, they are used between the bracket they sell and the head (THINK: WHY NOT MODIFY THE BRACKET!?!?!). Well, another problem is that there are no bolts included with their kit so they want you to put 1/4" spacers between the bracket and the head and use the stock length bolts and that frankly doesn't sit well with me as there isn't much bolt to bite into the head in my opinion. Roe says it is okay, you only need 7/16" of an inch, I say BULLSHIT and I am buying new bolts. Oh yes, another Roe famous line and I have heard this before "we never heard of anyone have a problem with that before". Well, I stopped using Roe and bought this from one of the dealers that I am very happy with, but another reason I would not buy from them and will avoid their products. So folks, if you need a power steering pump pulley and or bracket, I would BUY ELSEWHERE PLAIN AND SIMPLY. Sure I could not post, but I have shit my mouth too long about their service and the response when there is any problems. I can get VERY DETAILED in their instruction problems as I did the Roe Blower myself. I have no problem with their blower either, but their service sucks. Hell when I bought my blower they had the wrong bolts enclosed, instructions sucked, you call and put up with their manager Dave's attitude like he is Mr. car guru saying "it is simple physics". I almost laughed at that, thinking "man I am SURE I took more physics that this guy". One thing that I know is a lot of Alley members have helped me or offered helped and I have loyalty towards many of you and I feel that at this point I am just spilling it-I WILL NOT BUY A ROE PRODUCT NOR DEAL WITH THEM, THIS IS ENOUGH BULLSHIT. It cost me a $47 (with tax) belt, 3 more hours of R&R, and now new bolts (I REFUSE to use the OEM bolts 1/4" less penetration into the head) and a headache. The attitude of "we never had this problem before" makes it seem like "only you can be this stupid" or "you have NO IDEA what you are doing and should stick to flipping burgers". How about "I am very sorry, we should enclose instructions and longer bolts" or "we are revising the bracket to the correct height and not use spacers and will enclose bolts" but I AM SICK OF THE ROE BULLSHIT RESPONSES and I have heard the same complaints about their service, but many are afraid to post as they feel like they need them. My SC works fine but the support was less than steller on that, wrong bolts enclosed with kit, along with crappy instructions and attitude from Dave (condecending would be a good description). This last power steering experience pulley and bracket is just crossed the line on my end, so the cup spillith over onto the Alley. Amen
