mantasrme Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) This is a complete powersteering column ready to fit into your manta, with a speed controller box included (not in picture) All you need to do is fit it and connect 4 wires to have powersteering For fitting you will need to drill 2 holes for the new rear mounts and either fit captive/rivnuts or remove the clocks (for access) and use standard nuts. Run a fused power feed to the new ecu, and earth wire, and connect an ignition live to switch the box on. You will also need to mount the ecu and control box. Its a combination of a corsa B column and standard manta column (as described by Kev in the tech section) But this has the brackets made so the motor is mounted to the passengers side behind the dash, which means the fuse box doesn't need relocating. The drivers side lower dash needs a small section cutting out to clear the assembly, but other than that all the original cowling steering wheel and trim is retained so the car still looks standard For the complete setup its £270 plus £20 p+p If you send/bring me your old column its £40 less Alternatively if you already have the parts i can make you the mounts from my jigs so everything is angled correctly ready to bolt in. Fitting of the column is also available, this is the only complete column i have currently for sale but i have a couple of corsa columns to modify so more will be available soon.

Kevin Abbott Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 That's a great price and as I saw at billing it fits great, works great and looks factory. A corsa EPS can cost £100 plus the cost of a manta one plus the cost of the controller plus the modified mount. Bargain that! I'm changing the position of mine using David brackets as he's had it up and running in a fully built car. One is going on the mancona too ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is going on the mancona too ;-) Cheers Kev, I managed to pick up a couple of very cheap corsa columns which is why the price is so good. Oh your brackets are done (just have to remember to post them ack now ) I've also got a corsa column for the mancona so that can be done soon. Hello mate! Will this fit the LHD Manta? Cheers! Hi, i don't think it will as the fusebox would be in the way but i have not tried the setup in a LHD car. I've had a lot of interest in the column and the one listed is sold and in scotland now. But i will be getting more corsa columns to do more conversions but i am out of spare manta columns now so would need your column to modify if anyone else wants a converted column. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Abbott Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Fitted my Mantasport EPS mounts to my Manta tonight and they fit very well indeed I'll get some pics up ASAP and change my how to on the conversion as David has fitted his into a fully running car, my how to has the motor in a different position Using the new mount means I don't have any fuse box issues.

mantasrme Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 WILL IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO MODIFY IT TO FIT THE MANTA A. I would need a Manta A and column to use to make the correct mounts but i don't have any customers with one. So not at the moment i'm affraid.

HutchRoslin Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 So, your driving along the road when the near side front wheel catches a puddle and decides to yank the steering wheel to the left and pull you into a wall or something at the side of the road. Does having power steering stop this happening? I know in my van if I hit a puddle it doesn't happen and that's power steering.

mantasrme Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 It won't stop it as such, if you've got wide tyres and one hits a puddle the drag will be increased and if you're not holding the wheel it will pull the car to the side. But with the power steering it will be easier for you to hold the wheel straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchRoslin Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Ha ha, no not hit a wall but almost did a good while back in the very same scenario. This sounds like a potential mod for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantaray Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 It will all fit an A series with no problem, but you do need to use the A collum. Here are some pics of it fitted. http://forums.mantaclub.org/topic/17612-work-starts-on-the-mk-2-v6-a-series/page__st__40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
