Calm down gentlemen!
Just bought a Vauxhall Corsa electric power steering column from Ebay to experiment with. Ideally, I'd like to stick with very basic, 50s technology, but if it takes something hi-tech hooked up to the transverse spring/split wishbone jalopy front end to make it work, then so be it. Waiting with interest for the column to arrive in the post -wonder if I can graft my Moggy Minor steering wheel to it? I've also ordered a gizzmo from another Ebay seller that side steps the need for all the ECU/computer wizardry from the Corsa.

That's why we're building a pick-up Doc, so we can carry the coal in the back.  Could be a great solution to the problem -or a monumental failure, in which case I've just blown 70 quid on a power column I can't use. Guess I'd have to build something else around it. |

another motor that use,s a power column is the newish shape fiat punto this ones switchable they call it city mode so doesnt need all the electrical gubbins that the vauxhall system uses its just a thought if the vauxhall one,s not up to the job. |
