Corsa Power Steering Variator

How's your project coming along?

Coming together well thanks, it's getting quieter on the home front now so I'll be cracking on with it in the next few weeks, I've fabricated the rear top mounts now so it won't be too long before it's on its wheels I'm hoping to trailer it to Brooklands in the spring (not running of course) so I need to get a move on

I'll update the project tread once I've got the rear struts in.

You planning an electric steering rack?

Hope you make it to Brooklands, I'll enjoy having a good nose

Would love to see it it at brooklands as well!

Looking forward to hear more about it

Yes I hope to make it, there's loads of things I'd like to discuss with people in the know and I don't get enough computer time to do it on here

I am contemplating using a punto column with the standard coupe rack if I need to, the front should be light enough not to need one, I also have the option of using the standard setup with longer (much) hydraulic pipes although I'd rather not go that route.

The stilo abarth has an electric steering column if it helps, but my option would be use the standard hydraulics with new lines.

use the standerd rack with a saxo electric powersteering pump

Thanks for the advice guy's, standard with longer lines is the simplest, but the beauty of the electric system is the adjustability so I can have a play around untill I get the feel I want, all food for thought though
