Re: Re: Electric Power Steering on a Traction

I have started the initial installation of the EZ Power Steering system into my 1955 11B. This unit came as a kit from the company in Holland.

I will document the installed of the electronics etc at a later date but will start with the modification of the steering column.

Here is the new unit alongside the existing steering column. The idea is to cut the steering column and attach the new column adapter keeping the overall length the same.

I placed the new adapter onto the end of the existing shaft and measured the internal length of the adapter – not sure why they cannot state this length in the manual, but always better to measure as well. This ended up as 70mm.

Then I measured the overall length of the new unit plus the adapter and deducted the 70mm from this. Again, this could all be played out in the manual. This was a specific kit for the Traction.
