Wanted: MX5 Power Steering System
Hi,
Bit of a shot in the dark, but I have a mk1 MX5 setup for the track (it used to have PAS that was removed). My wife wants to start driving it but she
finds it a bit hard with the 280mm Steering Wheel coupled with no power steering (it's easy enough with a bigger steering wheel but I then
struggle to fit in the car).
Do any of you guys that have used an MX5 for a doner vehcile happen to have a Power Steering System for sale?
Thanks in advance.

Another idea might be 2 QR bosses with 2 different size wheels.

Yeah, I'd already considered that. The slight problem with that is the added diameter pushing the steering wheel closer to me (it's a
squeeze has it is for me with the cage stopping full movement of the seat, and I'm not exactly "petit" .
But is something I'd considered (the slimline ones).

You might be in luck...
I've a complete front suspension unit off (I believe) an '03 MX5 - not sure if that's same as MK1...?
Long term plan is to use uprights etc for a Haynes, but don't think I intend to use PAS so could be tempted to part with
relevant bits
U2U me if you think its suitable & I'll take some pics....
