Classic Replica Build

Thanks - he did not go for PAS then. Any reason you know?

I have a Megasquirt in my Westfield, they are good bits of kit

To be honest the steering was so good (after he had it professionally setup) it would of been a waste of money to fit power steering, but if we had then we would of fitted electric system from a Corsa.

Remember that you will need to show a collapsible column for IVA

Yep thanks, I know about the collapsible requirements for IVA

What is a common column that gets used on new builds?

Ford Sierra on Dax variants - non PAS.

Depending on the steering shaft angles you can often get away with the combination of knuckle joints that would deflect and a collapsible wheel boss.
BTW the Corsa B EPAS works well in many applications.

Thanks - can you shed any light on what is needed for the Corsa B EPAS?

Just replied on your other thread.

Thanks

So basically a complete column like this

And a gizmo to trick the ECU like this

Is that right?

Basically yes and yes.
Except the one you listed is a Corsa C not B column, similar but not quite the same.
As you're probably going to have to make your own brackets it probably wouldn't matter.
My controller is an automatic one which senses the load rather than having a twiddle pot.
Try and get one that comes with the harness plugs too if you can.

If you are going to run megasquirt then they have a module which will controll the power steering automatically linked to the speed you are traveling.Big Tony fitted this system successfully with his mega system.
