Too late thanks. Other kind friends have already done this.

Cobba,

I've had my share of British vehicles and still own a Range Rover Classic. The only Rover parts left are the chassis, steering column and wiring, Just shows I'm not that smart.

How it works.

The energising of the motor is by a torque sensor in the top of the unit. This senses which way the wheel is being turned and assists the turn. The assist varies from lots to nil dependent on the frequency being sent to it by another sensor. An electronic speedo or ABS sensor could send the signal but the frequency of the signal dictates how much assist you get. If you had a sensor giving (say) 200 signals per KLM you would have full time assist but an ABS sensor is probably giving around 15,000 which would cut he assist at about 10kph.

The sweet number is 3,000 per klm on the system I have. I can build a frequency altering module to adjust the cut in point of assist. You can buy a rotary pot with brains that allows you to do it manually but being automatic would be fun.

After tossing and turning last night trying to sort out the best line of approach to making this all go together I think I have in my head. I now need to make that happen. I'll post photos of the unit when its sorted.

I imagine EPAS would be great on non-assisted truck steering.
