What is the trade name for that stuff (so that I may Google up some info on it...)?

I have been making some progress, but a few revisions as I go along.
After measuring, it turns out the power steering pump is too big. I decided to use one with a remote reservoir from a Ford Taurus. It has a 6-rib pulley, but I found a brand new 8-rib and slightly larger for $18.00 - brand new (Ford trucks, vans and Navigators use an 8-rib).
I have been working on the power steering pump bracket and belt configuration this past week. My goal is to have at least a 33% belt wrap on the pulleys. I have looked at a few in the wrecking yards and some only seem to have 20-25% on the power steering - I think I will be fine. I am still fine tuning the placement of the tensioner and idler pulleys.
I use a cardboard for a rough template and once I have the hole locations I use a CAD system to draw the brackets and tweak for form and function. I can cut them out myself with the plasma cutter, but I am getting a price for a local steel supply to cut them for me. All I have to do is give them a .dxf file.
The next step is to work on the supports for the tail end of the SC, once I have this complete I will work on the SC plumbing...
