I've been making and selling these over on the Opel Manta Owners Club forum for the last several months with good response, and thought i'd start offering them on here aswell.
This kit uses a Corsa B electric steering column and combines it with a Manta steering column. Once done it all mounts into the Manta and is 95% invisible tucked behind the dashboard. The original switch gear, ignition, cowling and steering wheel are retained. Installed it looks like this
The bottom of the motor just sticks bellow the lower dash, but this can only be seen if you bend down to look for it.
Without the dash in it sits here
The lower dash needs a small amount cutting from the drivers side, and the passenger side needs a reinforcing web trimming down to make room for it. Other than that 2 holes need drilling for the extra rear mount on the column and 6 wires need connecting.
The kit comes with a modified column and rebuilt lower bearing, you will need to swap your switch gear, ignition barrel and steering wheel from your old column (a nut and 4 bolts)
It also has a controller box and adjuster so you can vary the amount of assistance the column gives (I've tried 4 different makes of controllers and the one i use gives the most adjustment and best feel)
This is the latest batch of kits made up
For a complete column with controller the price is £210 plus £15 delivery to mainland UK or you can collect from Harrogate N,Yorks
If you send me your old manta column in exchange i'll take £20 off the price
I can also supply a wiring kit for £12
(this includes all the required terminals, heatshrink, 50amp fuse and inline holder, and length of 50amp power wire)
Plus i make mounts for the steering ECU that allows it to be mounted bellow the washer tray for £10
Any questions just ask, or if you're near/passing Harrogate i have one fitted to a car you can look at and have a drive in.
There is a guide to how the column is modified and what needs trimming of the manta dash on my website here homepage.ntlworld.com/mantasport/mantasport/pages/corsa-eps.htm
