Electric power steering anyone?
I know its not everyone’s cup of tea but for some inc me it should help.
Been thinking about this for a while so at last I eventually decided to have a go at a D.I.Y install into me 260z
So far so good , I think
Basically I found me one of these Corsa B power columns and a control unit that I had brought some time back.
Managed to get a used Zed column to cut up from Pete, just so I could give it a try, plus if it don’t work I can always put it back to stock lol
Don't like the idea of using GM switch's n steering wheels etc so decided to pull the columns apart so I could make one out of two
So pulled both columns apart to get at the inner shafts
As you can see the GM shaft has a diffo spline count anyway so decided to cut them both up lol
Handy as the GM shaft is hollow which was to prove a right bonus
Offered up the Zed out column but the Corsa sleeve needed modding which was a simple job of grinding down a few flats
Like this
Then time to cut the Zed outer column to suit n offered it up
Fits a treat
Time to cut down the Zed inner shaft to the req length
And offfer it up to the Corsa column
God bless, it fits a treat
n look what we have here
Ok I know its not been welded up yet or fitted, but imho its looking good to a D.I.Y effort
Till next time
