Power steering

Used to be a company called MK2 mania. That used to do them.
There's a few build posts on here about them.
I think lasha dreams has a kit fitted to his mrs sportline.

Also very interested, have done some research to date unsuccessful! Ciotroen Saxo electric system looks most easily available but horrifies VW purists!

2 tintops.
3 cabbies, 1 with G60 power, just for fun.
Volvo T5, just for fun.
3.1Ltr V6 Dutton Leggera, just for fun.
Renault 5 GT Turbo, just a money pit!
Several boring cars, just no fun!

I remember mk2 mania previously doing a kit for £400 ish.
Bristol based ultimate engineering do a t25/3 kit, so they might do a golf one too.  It would seem that you only need a corsa b/c column which are £50 tops and some who can weld very well.

I don't know but ive read that the c column is a bit unreliable, so many cars have epas now that the choice is more than just corsa systems. The problem with them all I believe is the adjustability comes with a knob, so will need to keep adjusting it when you change speeds which must become a bit of a nuisance. I know someone on here has somehow connected it to the speedo so it adjusts itself..

I'm sure ultimate engineering had built a speed sensor to solve that problem but I'm waiting for them to get back to
me. I don't know if they are even still in business.
