Good day Tom, David and other non P/S Bristol V8's.
I was recommended to fit power steering by Brian Marelli, Bristol at that time were fitting the kit to customer cars and sales cars.
They recommended GTC Engineering, Unit 5 Red Ditches Farm, Silverstone Road , Stowe, Buckinghamshire MK18 5LH. tel 01280 851160,
sales@gtc-engineering.com, web site
www.gtc-engineering.com
Almost within the circuit!
I telephoned and emailed them and they recommended EPAC GEN 2 RHD/Bristol (SN-01310-0133-0122V4 at £2750.00
I opted to take the 407 to them and leave it so they could fit it at £1,040.00,
Total cost with no complication's £3,790.00 plus VAT Total £4,548.00
At the same time they found a seized UJ which necessitated removing the steering column, they also rewired the horn up the column for me which had never worked since I bought it, I had a push button under the dash!
They charged me the princely sum of 130.00 plus VAT as an additional item.
This is a family firm, they were great to deal with, Their workshops were full of classic cars, very clean and everything carried out within the time they said. I, like Brian would recommend them. My work was carried out in August 2019.
In use it is fantastic, parking is now a doddle, the amount of power steering is controlled by a rheostat switch under the dash in easy reach. On motorway one can turn it off, country fast lanes, set up a notch and parking full will amaze you! Hope this helps, a very worthwhile investment as far as I am concerned together with the Michelin X tyres.
