Just wondering if anyone has any experience of fitting power steering from a corsa b to a nova. Is it easy or hard to do? My dad has fitted it to a mk2 escort and found it fairly straight forward, I believe it was electric power steering.

Yep, I have it on mine...

You need a corsa PAS rack, get it professionally shortened 1.5" I think and re-thread the ends for the track rod ends...

Then use a 106/Saxo electric pump....

2 Systems. 1 is an electrically assisted column which uses the std rack, so you can easily marry it to a quick rack. Or install a Corsa GSi 'wet' rack & run a 12v hydraulic PAs pump from a Saxo or Clio etc.

This is a bit more involved but still do-able (as I'll prove shortly) Numerous other site users have done it this way too.

The 1st type (EPAS) is becoming very popular with rally car builders etc due to its simplicity & adaptability to nearly any car.
