 Expert Posts: 2568 Location: Up in the lakes | You have far too much money if you can justify buying a metro just to see how its power steering is installed  Is it just me or do the rear wheels look to be spaced out a bit?? | ||

I wish I had too much money but thats not the case, I have been looking for around four years for an answer to power steering installation, this was a last resort, I was not happy with the engineering detail of this conversion, its worked well for several years so I presume that its okay, I will continue looking unless somebody on here can show me a good tidy conversion unnamed (5) by itstony2012, on Flickr unnamed (3) by itstony2012, on Flickr unnamed (2) by itstony2012, on Flickr unnamed (1) by itstony2012, on Flickr unnamed by itstony2012, on Flickr I am fairly sure that this is a Rover 25 rack, it was driven by a Saxo electric PAS pump, it worked well and felt much more positive and quicker than a Metro rack, steering arms from the rack had been shortened and threaded for the reduced width of the car, I was put off of this by the amount of cutting and welding to the subframe, for 2k I would of expected something that was very tidy, I sold the car for what I paid for it so it was never a £650 look under the bonnet, hopefully somebody will be able to produce PAS one day, I will continue looking, when my KV6 is ready to run I will need it | ||
