does the colum and everything fit straight in or does it need to be made to fit?

sorry to hi-jack but i am doing the same thing..

is that the only things you need?

and what power steering rack/column is it you need? the non adjustable or the adjustable one..seen that mentind on the ebay link..

i drove a nova gte rally car a few weeks ago with this setup and adjustable power steering..was brilliant. felt much better!

Simply use a LHD donor EPAS column...

my column is from a corsa b sxi 00 plate but i think all the epas columns are the same, it will bolt straight on to your rack but you need to modify where it attaches to the bulkhead slightly
you need all the wiring and the ecu that comes with the steering from the doner car as well as the lttle box of tricks

£47 quid for a controller :eek: - I made one for testing purposes in about 40 mins. The only thing the box does is supply an engine revs signal and a variable speed signal to simulate 31 pulses per wheel revolution. Job done.
