That sounds like the same system I fitted this summer bought from a company near Bristol.
Best mod I have fitted.

You won't forget to inform your insurance company of this modification will you, anything unfortunate happens and they are fully entitled to pull the plug on you.

..lee.. can supply them too. Made with a collapsible element so still crash safety compliant AFAIK. I think only the RJES one also has this feature, but it's his own design.

All the supply's are at the column Bat and switched ign. The current draw is very low and only when heavy steering is applied.
Regarding Ian's query (insurance) no change it was just noted that it had been fitted on my policy.

Are any of these systems adaptable enough to fit the South African T3 which has the main fuse box just where the motor is shown in the pics above? The motor would therefore need to be lower on the column.
