Wow , Jamie that’s exactly what I won’t to do , in 67 Gtx but will probably use 66 Belvedere column and save my oem one , could you give more info on this conversion!
Umm!Just think about this for a moment before you decide to go the electric steering route:
BMW Z4 came with EPS but the M version (Z4M) used a traditional hydraulic steering rack - why do you think BMW did this?
Correct, and they don't leave a sticky residue if you store them in a bucket.Interesting idea. Electrons don't leak onto your garage floor.
I don't know about the one quoted in that picture, but they can run from 40 - 70+ Amps.What is the power(A) draw on the motor.
Umm!
Those are actually mustang columns but I have done a 69 coronet too. 1970 and up columns would be tougher because of the keyed column and column shift would be almost impossible.View attachment 1089305
I also saw the video about a guy putting it into a mustang and it is very intriguing. So I was at the pull aparts and I grabbed the power electric steering from I think an '07 Prius.
I've also got a couple of spare steering columns from 72 and 73 b bodies and then I haven't put much time into wearing how to position it under the dash.
Jam ie what's staring columns are those that you have shown? Tilt would be nice but a rare option. I think I've read the later '70s C bodies might fit but I haven't found one to scavenge.
Sounds like maybe BMW don't have it figured out so well....And several owners retrofit a hydraulic system in their EPS Z4s.. the reason ist the much improved steering feel.
This is on an OEM platform with multiple sensors and computers and BMW still decided to use a hydraulic rack on the top of the line model. Now imagine a retrofit setup that runs the box in fail save mode - can this be any better? I doubt it..
