[DeTomaso] Thanks to all who responded on my question about power steering

[Jerry Knotts]

Sorry I am a little late to the party.  I started gathering parts for 
this project last year and a bunch of stuff has gotten in the way for now.
This is about building a DIY EPAS power steering unit.

The you tube video states it can be done for $100 but things have 
changed from the time the video was done.

Used part locations have found the value of the Saturn EPAS steering 
box.  I had to pay $225.00 for mine but it is complete with all the 
wiring and plugs intact.  I did purchase the controller from the fellow 
in Portugal.  It was still $65.00 the first of this year.  I have those 
pieces in stock but have not made any headway on installing it.  I was 
looking at under dash instead of under car but have not progressed 
passed getting the parts.

It looks like a good project for the Pantera owner.  I have wide tires 
on 2 of my P cars but I also have a supercharged stroked 331 Windsor in 
my 96 Miata and it is a chore to park.  I pulled its left over unpowered 
power steering rack and changed it to manual. It is still a chore to 
turn at parking lot speeds.

Am trying to get back on the project just to see how hard it is to 
mount.  The rest looks pretty simple with some steering couplers or some 
machining.
