Hello Dave

Yes, that's correct. The manual steering box is virtually touching the right hand exhaust manifold in the right hand drive setup. No room for power steering gubbins (of either type) there. Some of the electric units operate directly on the steering column inside the car. I'm a bit sceptical about their ability to summon enough torque to work well. Of course, the vendors say they do.

Turning the wheel at parking speeds is truly character-building!
