[T2] used engine (Power Steering)

[Lourd Baltimore]

There's a firm in the UK that makes a EPAS (Electronic Power Assisted Steering) unit for retro-fitting in Bay Windows and Vanagons (not sure about Splits).

Their "Techincal" page on the website seems to be down, but one of their Approved Fitting Centres more-or-less has the tech info:

It's a fail-safe design that inversely scales power assistance with vehicle speed.  That is, you get less power assistance as you go faster.
It's not cheap at £1195 Bay (includes fitting) or £995 Vanagon (self fitting).  However, I remember reading some reviews saying that if you have the spare cash, then it is a revelation.

New to the list here thanks for having me. I just purchased a 1972 Type 2
Campmobile and I love it. I was curious if anyone has any good options for
a power steering conversion? I would like to add rack and pinion or eps.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for this?
