Electric Power Steering?

Post by **crazydiamond** » 19 Mar 2008, 07:26

Just as a thought, I have been thinking about converting to electric power steering using a Corsa electric steering column, it seems to be a conversion used on a few vehicles so should be do-able on a T25.Anyone had a go yet?
I am thinking that cutting and inserting the Corsa electric section into the centre of a T25 steering coloum then fabricate a bracket to hold to the bulkhead steelwork. Not sure about the wiring, is it simple or not?

Are we on about true EPS or just elecro hydraulic?

True EPS as in corsa coloum welded into a T3 column, I think a suitable bracket could be fabricated and bolted right thru the front rectangular body box section with suitable spreader plate and to me looks doable, I intend trying soon, but I need a standard T3 column to cut and shut. Anyone got one going real cheap (read free) in case I muck it up!
