I've seen seen nice standalone electric powersteering pump packages somewhere in the racer catalogs. The -great- thing about them is that they're only on on-demand, so unlike a regular pump you don't have to run it until you want the boost. Lots of late model cars have them these days (they started going that route before going to the electric motor assist wierdness they're playing with now...), the one in the 02-06 (-08 for the cabrio) MINI is a nice and small package, would tuck next to a frame rail easily, and is already designed to live under the car. ;) -- David Raistrick http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html keen at icantclick.org ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail http://www.asciiribbon.org/
