Articles Notes & Updates The EZ Power Steering units were purchased by the car owners
themselves and Not the GLP Club.• We installed Allen’s power steering the week prior to the Spring Fling and Not at the Spring Fling like it said in the Shade Tree article. We did however present a lengthy Powerpoint presentation at the Spring Fling Tech event. • You can hardly feel any difference in the road feel of the car unless you are almost stopped and trying to turn. Parallel parking can be achieved with one finger on the wheel and there is absolutely no sound that can be heard from the steering assist motor. At the Great Lakes Spring Fling and Showcase quite a few club members drove Alan’s car around the parking lot and were amazed at the ease of handling of the car at slow speeds.
All modifications were done with a jig saw, a dremel tool, right angel drill in 2 - 3 days in Allen’s Garage . (However a plasma cutter would have cut the time to under an hour for the basic install.) We erred on the side of caution for the 1
st install.
