That uses the old Saturn/Equinox 2002-07 electric motor-
The newer motors use a better torque sensor- I used one off a 2012 Nissan Cube with a Flaming River Rack and Pinion.

If you wanna go with the older design- a much cheaper route is a $55 harness/module from eBay and a used Saturn electric motor.
Easily all in for less than a couple hundred bucks. The amount of fab work required with the kit- doesn't make sense to me...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/284408724353?

Nissan Cube motor- controller just requires +12 ign and power/ground


Adapter I made - steering shaft to Nissan input-




Motor to steering column



Used a bearing for the linkage- shaft is collaplable


Motor-


Module- 3 wire hook up

Yeah, seems way over priced for what you get. Richards way looks nicer anyway.
