It's your car you can do whatever you want to it. I think it's a great project. The car will still look the same , handle crap( by modern standards) and not stop all your doing is getting rid of some of the crap bits of these cars and replacing them with better engineered modern stuff.
I have also been looking into the mgf electric power steering when you put them side by side it looks quite do able. I intend to retain the orginal domite column adjustment, stalks and housing. Wiring looks a piece of cake as its a complete stand alone system. Road speed sensor with be a hall effect sensor reading the prop bolts. This gives a signal of aprox 115 hz at 30 mph. The engine speed in my case is easy as I will just use the tacho out from the EFI ecu. This is the next project after the EFI
I may do a little to help the handling and I'm definitely going to help the brakes with a trackerjack convo!
It looks like you've done more homework than me on the PAS, I,m very interested in a couple of things you mentioned, ie engine speed and road speed sensors, I will have a rev counter feed I know and I'm going to need a road speed sensor for a Speedometer as the Omega gearbox dosen't have a speedo drive, taking its signal from the ABS. So here's my question, Is it ok to "share" the sensor signal between the speedo and the PAS or will I need 2 pickups? As it is I may have to diff mount the pickup as I think the Omega uses a rotoflex type joint at the front and fitting the sensor to that might be problematic. Also the sensors are not cheap, the one that goes with my speedo of choice is over £50! Steve
