Power steering for a 51 Ford Deluxe convertible?
I swear Popeye is the only one that can make 3 point turns and do parallel parking with my very heavy 51 Ford deluxe convertible, so I took it to my mechanic and after several tries, returned it to me.
Sure could use some direction on if power steering can be in installed. Thanks in advance. |

Check out this thread. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...teering&page=2
EPS is one option. The other would be to go the conventional route. Try a search on the HAMB site. You may find more info there. PM me if you want more detail on the Unisteer EPS system. |

Keep in mind that any steering column mount electric power steering such as Unisteer would require the transmission shift mechanism be relocated to the floor or elsewhere.

http://www.borgeson.com/xcart/home.php?cat=152 It says not recommended with flathead due to exhaust. Wonder if some custom headers could get around that.
