I've been detered from fitting a power rack as from what I can see they are a bit longer than the standard rack
Which I guess could induce bump steer / effect tow out on turns?
So am also back at looking at the electric option

Been talking to EZ today.
Two options but not sure which is best
They're both speed sensitive.
1, Full assistance from standstill then tapering off as you speed up to 35 mph and will come and go automatically
2, Is load sensitive via a potentiometer but works the same way, from standstill tappering off as you reach 35 mph but can be adjusted down to 90-85-80-75% as the start point
Not really sure what that means

Im assuming the 90-85% or what ever is for if you think 100% assistance is too light even at parking speeds, so you can set it at say, 80% as the maximum assistance from standstill, tapering off to nothing at 35 mph.
Does anyone else think 35 mph is to soon, i'd prefer around 45 mph at least before assistance completely disappears! even then, sweeping bends on A roads at 50 mph, the steering still feels a bit heavy to me if im honest. I think i'd actually prefer about 20% as a minimum, so never actually unassisted
Maybe im just to accustomed to modern steering, or im getting lazy or to old, or all three!
Terry Taylor did a good write-up on a system he built for his blue 240. It used a Subaru rack.

This is exactly my concern
TBH I only really want the assistance at normal speeds
My problem is that with 10" wide front wheels on stupid track rubber the steering wheel can often be wrenched from my hands. White lines etc etc
I thought that PAS might stop this but only if it's assisted at speed
