Hi All. I have a spare EPAS unit and Escort column that I can adapt if anyone is interested?

Hi Paul
do you know if they make EPAS for XY 1972 ?
Bernie

No but I’m sure you could adapt something from a late model.

Beevee have a look on USA epas conversion kits, they had falcon (mustang) in USA so there should be something adaptable even if it's just the uni joints and column parts for a common epas used.
Edit.. Just remembered, they sell complete kits for hotrods there.

I'm attempting to install a Yaris epas conversion into my Courier ute, when time allows.. The three items, column, ecu box and driver kit(from Portugal) cost only $320 all in. If I can't get it to fit for some unknown reason I'll install it into a panelvan !

I use the Suzuki Ignis unit as it’s small and all self contained along with being reasonably straight forward to adapt. I found the Corsa / Barina unit significantly bigger.

Hi Paul,
I may be interested in your unit though the idea of rigging something up like Marty is appealing.
In say an analogue type car like an Escort how does the electric steering motor know cars speed and steering force?
I suppose my question is, how do you interface them?

Hi Mark
Employing a basic GPS speed input into the EPAS ECU to provide a variable pulsed input. Torque is variable based on vehicle speed and input torque via the steering wheel. Basically as speed increases, assistance decreases to a point above a set speed (say 40kph) where there is zero assistance.

Thanks all of you for ideas
Bernie

Hi Paul,
How much for it adapted to the steering column?
Thanks,
Kieran

Hi Kieran, at this time the spare I have is sold sorry.
