For quite a while now I have been reading about how the electric power steering that is fitted to a Vauxhall Corsa / Fiat Punto etc ,is being retro fitted to a lot of classic cars and rally cars. I have found someone that is confident of fitting the system to a 408. Has anyone already done it yet to any Bristol ?
I notice that Aston Workshops are offering the same system for a DB5 for £3500 !! It shouldn't cost any more than £500. 12" of column space is needed and the amount of power assistance is controlled by a rheostat.
What I like is everything still appears standard and the steering would still work even if power was lost.
