1996 ford bronco 5K miles a no sale at $57k
I was watching this one as it is almost just like mine! Except I have an additional 265K miles. My window sticker MSRP is higher than this one but I can't see where the difference is. It wasn't mentioned or asked if it had the turn signal mirrors. '96 was the only year for them. It would have been the 'Cherry on top' if it had them.

Too me the bracket is custom-made to fit that vehicle and the reservoir is some type of aftermarket be interesting who makes it somebody will chime in . The one in the picture is my 76 custom-made guy in California not too sure if he’s around anymore I haven’t heard anything he did a great job

He hasn't returned my emails in a while, He got Covid and I guess it turned into Long Covid.
He didn't have enough gas in the tank to do these after working an 8 hr day at his regular job...

does anybody know where I can find the PSC reservoir bracket as shown in pic 120? Also, part number for a PSC reservoir (size?).

Probably one of these on this page:

https://www.pscmotorsports.com/parts/remote-fluid-reservoirs/off-road/universal

Hard to tell but if I had to guess, I'd say it's one of the taller ones offered. The blue piece is a homemade custom piece, I'm sure.

The last email he replied to he seemed okay, but Covid had taken a toll. It has been about a year since our last conversation...
He did provide a quality product at a reasonable price, it is a shame. I hope he is able to recover so that he can enjoy life and Family again.

Lee Power Steering has a new updated design, reservoir and mounting bracket for use with the Explorer front dress. everything fit like a glove. I ordered the set up for Hydroboost and love it.

That was going to be a recommendation as well, but I didn't know if they offered their reservoir separate from their complete pump/reservoir setup. Did you order just the reservoir?

I had Lee do a custom reservoir for me back in '05 and it's still working well on my truck.

Hey Todd. Yes, they do offer the mounting bracket and reservoir separately from their complete set up.
The bracket also lowers the reservoir down to clear the hood brace and locates it back towards the firewall. Clears the A/C compressor nicely and hose connections were in the perfect place.
Lee does not show it on their web site as of yet, not sure why, I spoke to Mike at Lee about it, and he knows what you will need.

Thanks Mark! A great option then, although some may not like Lee’s pricing.

I want to stop derailing this thread, but wanted to post these photos first.

I got these photos from Lee Power Steering, thru email. $370 non-hydro boost , $405 for hydroboost setup. Spendy for sure, but not terribly much more than a PSC setup. I personally like the looks of a PSC setup better.





NOW BACK TO BaT TALK!!

Ok then, back to BAT! It looks like things have slowed a bit but when you look deep into the final bid prices it appears that people are just getting more selective, smarter and paying attention to the build quality. The big dollars are spent on true high end builds. I think the frezy of overpriced cars is slowing but quality still appears to hold up.
