Need some help on choosing the right size Auto Helm Pump.
So my steering ram size 17.7ci /290 cc puts me at the high end of the AF1212 and starting range of the AF2012 piston pump.
Thinking the 14.5 second hard over calc for the 1212 does not leave much in reserve. The calc for the 2012 would put me at 8.7 seconds at full volume however the application chart says adjustable to 15 seconds which would be ideal.
Leaning toward the 2012 but want to make sure this is not oversizing.
Would like to hear from anyone that has done this. Thanks
