I've seen it done on a daily 3.2 but it's a PITA... The Rack and pump were taken from a Ford Laser from the 80s. (Mazda equivalent)
IMO It's not wise to add complexity to a race car.

It's his daily so it's pretty much stock everything.
He's a member of the local Porsche club, a lawyer and about 70 years old. He told me he can't retire because he loves his work so much. A local shop did the conversion. The biggest issue was finding a power steering rack that could be modified to fit a 911. The steering column and body were modified as well. You're best off finding a steering rack with the steering link central on the rack. But it came from what we call a Ford Laser. Mid 80s econo hatch... It's actually a re badged Mazda. I'm not sure if this car was ever sold in the US.

Have you considered or tried using a large diameter steering wheel?
A 380 or 400 mm diameter wheel can make a significant difference when it comes to leverage. Just a thought. Markus '80 SC Targa |
