Re: Re: Electric Power Steering on a Traction

The motor itself points upwards at about 1 o’clock and there is a twisted bracket that required two holes to be drilled in the lower shelf. This was the part that confused me as I didn’t know where the motor was to sit. One clarified with EZ power steering it all went in very easily.

The control box is bolted on and the connectors are all pretty obvious where they go, i.e. they are all keyed so you can’t get it wrong.

The main connections to the car are a decent earth, which I used a bolt to the side of the body which is now a common earth for lots of other things. A 10 watt supply which I connected to my fuse box and then a 35 amp supply which comes with an inline fuse and I took directly to my battery cutoff switch.

The potentiometer that adjusts the amount of assisted steering I tucked away under the shelf for now. I am will figure out how much adjustment is necessary and if used frequently I will mount it under the dash but for now I think it might be a click and forget type of adjustment.

So next it to fit the steering wheel and once the car is back on the road, Test it out 😀
