Hi - I'm half-way through converting a 97 Ford Laser to DC motor power and am uncertain how to deal with the existing power steering. My first thought was to simply loop the hydraulic lines at and convert to a manual system.
Does anyone have any experience with this aspect of EV conversions and the possible mechanical or certification issues that might arise? Many thanks Richard

Hi Voxel,I think the new Mini (BMW) have an electric power steering pump.The other way would be and manual rack out of an earler laser.Your rack would have too much movement if it was not pressure feed.It has a control valve with a little torque blade that would twist too much.Hope this helps. Max.
