I'm wishing I had it on my Alpine. Modern power steering is so good it is unnoticeable. It also has changed the way we drive and I'm convinced allows us to avoid a lot of accidents. All this is not noticeable until you drive something like an Alpine.Heck yeah on the steering!
Need to ship, here is the web address for themHeck yeah on the steering!
Is that Dutchman place local to you, or do you need to ship it?
Bill, The BritishV8 thread shows how you can put electric power steering in any car by splicing into the column. Top and bottom of column would be still Sunbeam.

Went to Harbor Freight and bought two engine stands and two farm jacks so I can build a rotisserie for the Sunbeam.
Interesting. I have seen engine stand rotisseries before but never one using farm jacks. Please post details of the rotisserie when you can. I will be very interested in seeing what and how you do.
I will post pics to show how to make it safe and functional. From what I have seen others do, they stress the importance of "tying" the two together.
hey Bill,I think it is essential the thing be tied together. I have one of the engine stands and being three wheeled, is very tippy. Also not very sturdy. I used it while assembling a Pinto 2.0 and it was okay. Loaned it to a guy to assemble a Ford 302 and it came back with a brace. He said it visibly sagged without the brace.
