EPAS for the Stratos

Purchased my Power Steering Shaft and Joints from GRP4 Fabrications for the Corsa EPAS Installation.............Geraint already mentioned GRP4 Fabrications earlier in the thread.

If I use a Corsa b EPA’s unit how difficult would it be to fit my x1/9 stalks or would it be a better option to use a Fiat Seicento EPA’s unit

I'm thinking it might be easier to join a gym and get those arms pumped up instead. Or, talking of pumping up, run the fronts at 30psi.....and just don't go above 30mph.

Hi Ken, if you look at post 66 in Dave Evans thread " LB part deux", I'm pretty sure the photo shows the Fiat stalks affixed to the end of the Corsa B column.
Easy-steer will install an epas unit to your existing column ( in most cases) and they now do a 'mini' motor unit to graft in to your existing column, which may mean it could be possible to graft on to even the Hawk column. You would have to ask them of course. Pretty sure they would need to do it in house if it is possible.
My own approach, as I am starting from scratch, is to source a suitable column which can be supported by their speed sensitive controllers, and instal it myself on fabricated bracketry.

Hello Ken,

The X1/9 stalks do not fit directly to the Corsa B column without some well thought out surgery.
Basically you need to fabricate a new upper column sleeve, machine the shaft & reposition the upper bearing to make this work.
It's doable because it's been done but if the Siecento can be made to work it might be easier provided there is a controller available/adaptable.

Hi Ken, as Craig say's it is quite possible but complicated. The main issue I found was adapting the Corsa outer column to take the X1/9 ignition barrel as I wanted to retain the X1/9 shroud's. If you PM me your email I can send you some photos of my version if you want to go down this route.
Cheers Steve

Ken, further to my PM, forgot to mention, that even the steering lock functions using the X1/9 barrel, all covered by the X1/9 shrouds.

Sounds like a right faff.
I couldn't be bothered with that.
