    I recently bought a talbot express and wanted to fit electric power steering but the cost was over £500. Then i found your video, i have followed your video and now have electric power steering and i love it, i got a clio 2008 power steering motor for £40 and the switch control for £37, and with the wires its all in at just under £90 .
    Thanks for a great video. 😊

    Just wondering, the shaft is pushed down onto the spline of the motor whats stopping it being pulled up with the steering wheel

    • @roaminginraymond
      @roaminginraymond  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      There's nothing stopping it from pulling up, but it's designed to go up and down. It won't come out because of how it's designed but it can move 1-2 inches.

      @roaminginraymond  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, sorry, he's retired now and is having surgery on his hands soon too. There's a place in Stratford upon Avon that does it but it's around £600 I think. Someone near London does it for around £500. If you join the Talbot site on Facebook you can get different info on there.

  • @roberthouston594
    @roberthouston594 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great job 👍 Only concern I have did you put a slip joint in the bottom shaft. If you haven't it needs one because the UJs need movement when they turn to allow a little change in length in the shaft as they operate (unless UJs are perfectly straight). May cause something to break with use.

    • @roaminginraymond

      There is movement in the joint of approximately 3-5mm.
