i know it has been done on vw sciroccos quite successfully.
only problem on some corsa B models is they have a speed sensor which means the steering wont work properly unless you can feed it a signal.
the speed sensor lets the power steering module know how much steering aid to give the driver as the steering in supposed to give less aid at higher speed and more at lower speeds.
no signal= malfunction and the power steering wont work.

alternatively you can use a citroen saxo power steering pump which is electric and find a suitable rack to fit in the car?
all you will need is custom pipe work and a suitable loom made up.

This has been done a number of times by forum members. I'm sure someone will be along to discuss. I've got the necessary bits but haven't assembled it all yet.

Do a forum search and you'll find past discussions too.

I wouldn't describe the speed sensor issue as a problem either. You just fit one! Integral to the conversions people have done. See Datsun Dave's hybrid Z thread. Again, use "search".

I've seen a few options . But I felt the corsa b was a cheaper option.

I have everything to do the conversion also a speed controller ,which you turn left or right depending on the speed your doing . So you can turn all the way clockwise for hard steering whilst doing higher speeds and unticlock wise for lighter steering control .

Could someone send me a link of other users doing the conversion. Using my phone I'm struggling to find the thread .

Many thanks .

It's also a common mod on VW T25 campers, there are a few people selling control boxes on ebay
