I'm going to return the current steering pump brackets for refund, and will order a set from Alan Grove tomorrow. Got confirmation that the rack mounting brackets and rack itself have a 2-4 week lead time, so it is still a couple of weeks out.
On a happier note (not that the above is all that bad), the new wheels arrived today, and are good. Will start looking for paint to match the creamy-white on the roof tomorrow. Should be able to get them painted and the new tires mounted by the end of next week.
