Red9 put one on their wishbone kit, but it proved so light that it made it dangerous to drive so they tell me.........

I recon with a bit of thought and some welding skills an electric system from a Clio should be doable, but not sure its worth the effort, just get a bigger steering wheel

Red9 wishbone, 175 front tyres job done.

Here you go, http://www.litesteer.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; reviews seem candy... Is it worth the 1000? Depends on whose the driver.

To bad it wasnt a factory option!

Hi

£1000 for steering, or pay a little more and have red9 wishbone set up, sell your old front end for a few hundred quid, job done, then you'll have front discs, better steering and fully adjustable suspension? Or am i missing something?

Cheers

the one we fitted was because the owner had a stroke so unable to turn steering ,fine for the feeble if a bit on the pricy side but a simple to fit kit any one with a little mechanicalness about them could instal 8) only down side is it dont fix your knackered steering box :msn4:
