Adrian, and all,
While a completely self-contained electric rack might not be the
easiets method at this time, the MGOC method of electric pump for a
hydraulic rack could still work. However, MGOC wants $1500.00 US for
the system. While searching on the web, I found a number of commonly
available japanese and european cars that use electric pumps, (just do a
search under "electric power steering pump") so getting a used/rebuilt
one shouldn't be expensive. As far as getting a rack, there are
hundreds of models out there for power steering in the $200 to $300 US
range, rebuilt. The question is: does anyone know of any modern
production cars with the same size rack as the MG? Mounting brackets
should be ~trivial~ to make.
Ciao,
James J.
