I am going to come up with a power steering bracket for the pilot, and maybe the fl 350 need a pilot steering shaft to work with, I have a extra column to work with but need the shaft to finish it. Thank you

I'm working on putting power steering in my pilot too.
I just bought an entire column and shaft assembly off ebay to play with.
When I was looking, I did find a guy with both the column and shaft for sale separately.
His name is Nick you can reach him at:
scvtelecom@sbcglobal.net
He wants $95 dollars for just the shaft.
Hope this helps.
What power steering unit are you planning on using for the conversion?
I was going to try the Saturn Vue unit if it will fit, I'm just not sure about the power draw in the battery and charging system, but with the controller you can turn it up and down so I guess we'll see.
I bought a spare column, so I'm not screwed, in case it doesn't work.

I'm curious to see how this turns out. I have the ATVR front end on mine and it is a bitch to steer, so anything that makes it easier to steer is something I am interested in.

Just looked at the Super ATV website. Holy barking spiders Batman!!!!! They sure are proud of their products!!!!! Nope, can't afford $750 for the kits or $650 for the universal unit. Man, guess I'll need to save my pennies if I really want this... Wife wants a new stove and over the range microwave, and she has waited long enough for it. She comes first. D'oh!

I also have the ATVR front end on mine and yep, it is a bitch to steer.
I'm going to try the Saturn Vue unit if it will fit, I bought it for $75 bucks on craigslist.
I also bought the controller to make it work for $65 bucks.
You can turn the power steering up and down with the controller, make the steering as light or as hard as you want.

I went with the super atv kit because to be honest I had no idea cars had electric power steering. Oh well I am still going to make a mount for it

I haven't started the conversion yet. Hopefully I'll get some time in the near future. When I do I'll try to document as much as I can.

The electric steering is nice :-)
I wonder how I know that? :-)
