Power steering?

Hi Fellow Snakers!

Finally after twenty years, two children and some persuasion from the members of the South West Club (thanks Martin and Mike :thumb, and also Ken from AK, I am starting to build an AK 427 with a Ford Cleveland and Tremec 5 speed gearbox.

The burning question is.....do we have power steering or do I make my other half struggle to park the snake (that provided she can find the keys in the first place!)?

I would like to keep the car as near to an original spec as possible and wondered if anyone could give me any feedback on the pros and cons of both. Most of the people I have spoken to, so far, are opting for the power steering.....what do you guys think?

Thanks from newbie

Mickeyg

Re: Power steering?

Hi Mikeyg

I called Martin and Steve whoosies when they fitted power steering, then I drove Martins, what a difference, no feed back up the column when you hit a pot/man holes, still keeps positive feel at high speed on motorways.

I decided that I had to have it, took it to AK last year and had it fitted, brilliant. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Re: Power steering?

Those that I've spoken to who have it, absolutely love it. :thumb:
that includes some of your local boys.
I have been trying to find time to develop it for the Dax for a while now but I'm struggling for time.
