It is speed sensitive, steering light at low speeds and doesn’t become lighter at higher speeds. And when you require more assistance, with wider tyres or a smaller sports steering wheel for example, the driver controls the amount of assistance and the desired feel by turning a potentiometer, offering a distinct advantage over hydraulic systems with little feel and no option to make adjustments.

The EZ power steering unit is neatly concealed so you can enjoy effortless power steering without spoiling the original look or authenticity of your classic. It is supplied with CNC laser cut bespoke brackets that are designed to fit the original mounting points of your car meaning it can be easily installed with no cutting, welding or modifications to your classic. The steering rack and box also remain unchanged, retaining the standard steering ratio so, if you ever decide to remove the unit, the car can be fully restored to its original condition at any time.

If you’re a purist and prefer the original manual steering on your 6-cylinder E-type but would like a slightly sharper feel to your handling, then try one of our E-type “quick racks” that have 8 teeth on the pinion and only 2.5 turns lock-to-lock. When changing the rack, we always recommend checking the rack mountings and track rod ends at the same time.

Enjoying the interior of your classic is all part of the ultimate driving experience. We particularly love the look and feel of the original 16″ steering wheel in our E-Type, but it can be a squeeze getting in and out compared to the 15” option. Alternatively, you can fit our quick-release steering wheel boss to remove the steering wheel altogether. Choose from a great range of steering wheels for all models at SNG Barratt.
