TVR RG 101
Power steering conversion kit
Electronic power steering system to convert manual steering TVR Chimaera and Griffiths. This is a fully electronic power steering system which fits into the steering column of the TVR Griffith or Chimaera with manual steering. This conversion gives all the benefits of a traditional hydraulic power steering system with none of the drawbacks. This conversion keeps the existing manual steering rack in place and generates the power assistance via an electric motor mounted in the steering column. The response of this steering system is programmed to suit the TVR Griffith and Chimaera and offers maximum assistance at very low speeds and this assistance reduces with speed to ensure steering feels perfect at all times. This system is incredibly powerful at low speeds, silent in operation and unobtrusive. If the engine should stall the power steering is unaffected and continues to operate perfectly normally. On hydraulic systems the power steering pump operates continuously whether it required or not, absorbing power whereas the electronic system only works when requested hence it is significantly more efficient. This kit is ideally suited to upgrading manual steering systems and is fully guaranteed. The motor drive assembly is used by a number of major car manufacturers and is used in a number of current vehicles and is built to an exceptionally high specification. The control system is CAN operated and is programmed to specifically suit the TVR Griffith and Chimaera. Note TVR Griffiths and Chimaeras with power steering command higher residual prices and are easier to sell. The price quoted includes installation.
