Electric power steering


Recommended Posts

You could buy a complete unit (steering column with EPS fitted) from one of the suppliers or DIY.

If DIY the biggest hurdle is to mount the EPS unit to the column shaft. You have to cut the existing shaft, remove the EPS length from it and weld the EPS in and outcoming shafts to the old shaft cut ends. Not that difficult but it needs to be done with care and the welds should be perfect (deep enough). Alignment should be straight as well. We did these when mounted in a lathe.

Then, take car to mount the EPS unit. It needs to have extra support from the firewall to be able to take the torque.  

There are companies who will do the shaft conversion for you if you send them your old steering shaft. I had one of these companies, it is now run by my former compagnon. We did a number of similar TR6 shafts over the years. It is located in the Netherlands.     www.ooto.eu
