Default C1 power steering

Has anyone installed the EPAS electric power steering on a '58-'62 and what do you think?

I installed the same basic system except I made mine out of scrounged parts. All I can say is that once you have it you will NEVER want to go back. Turns the whole car into an absolute joy to drive anywhere.

Here is the link to the post I did on it way back when

I also did a followup after adding the 'fast steering' kit.

There have been several threads on this on the forum. You can search this forum and use the term EPAS and read them all. Here is one in which I typed a lot of information and included some pictures. Scroll down to post #3 for my reply.

any type of power steering is really enjoyable. Night and day. Changes the whole experience. America is not the wide open spaces it was once was. Like jammed parking lots we deal with now. A+ for sure all types.
