Electric steering I know better to post this on Hamb but I spend more time here on the Barn. I have joint problems and finding its harder and harder to steer my 38 5 window. Anyone gone this way? Thanks Pete

Re: Electric steering I know of one example of electric assistance being applied to a Model A. It works well. Off topic but one of our dailys, a Fiat 500 has electric power steering.

Re: Electric steering I installed one on a '35 for one of my Hobby Members and it is one slick piece to drive.

Re: Electric steering Angledrive please tell us more about the 35 you installed electric power steering on!
I should think it would be very welcome in tight parking lots. |

It's a pretty common mod in the vintage Mustang world and
becoming more popular daily.... Here's some of the details off the thread- The cars with "fail safe" electric power steering.... 2004-2009 Toyota Prius 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla 2006-2011 Toyota Yaris - (With ABS works in Fail-Safe). 2006-2011 Toyota Yaris - (Non-ABS needs VSS signal or flashing LED) 2007-2009 Nissan Versa 2009-2012 Nissan Cube 2012-2014 Kia Soul The hot ticket for the 65/66 Mustang, which has a similar 1-piece shaft from the steering wheel down to the steering box, like what I'm guessing you'd also have on a '38, is the Prius or Corolla setup. There is a packaging deal and I don't know what your '38 underdash space situation is..... I'll post a photo of what these items look like. It's basically a cut, and section deal with your factory steering shaft, plus some wiring. By "fail safe" I gather you've still got steering if the electrical power goes off..... you just don't have power assist. |
Re: Electric steering Have looked into the possibility a while back as what was offered from
'UNISTEER' The major obstacle that I found was if your vehicle had a column shift. If the vehicle has a floor shift the installation looks relatively simple. https://www.unisteer.com/collections...power-steering |
Re: Electric steering 2018 Toyota Camry has electric steer.

Re: Electric steering I know the Saturn unit is a popular unit. I have a friend putting on in a 38 PU. I put a GM 605 unit in my 47 PU, But had problem getting th e pump installed. Works now, but i'd use electric an my next project.

Re: Electric steering I did a cylinder head replacement on a ‘35 Ford with an 8BA with a GM steering box and a pump mounted over the left cylinder head between the two center spark plugs and run by a belt off the rear of the generator.
Some old Chrysler cars had the P.S. pump on the back of the generator. I believe this car had one of those generators with a pulley added where a p.s. would go. It worked like it was meant to be there. |
Re: Electric steering I can not find any unit that is 6 volts??? or I would buy one.....

I'm told the Prius circuit for that system uses a 50 amp fuse and the recommended wire gauge is 10 (?) to support that circuit. |

Re: Electric steering We had an electric PS unit off a Suzuki swift . Brief moment of contemplation for our 49 . Nope bad Idea , went to a GM rack and PS pump.
