Just a quick question
can you fit any p/s pump on a 308 or do u have to get the specific one?

just need the correct bracket as far as I know... probably want the correct pulley on the front too.

while im asking, wat components are required with a p/s pump and wats the average price you'd pay?

better off getting a complete unit, you will need a steering box, the pump and mounting bracket, good quality hoses attaching the two, and the bush that links the steering box to the steering shaft is different to a standard one. get on ebay and try to pick a bargain, or a swap meet.
