Anyone done an electric power steering swap?
Saw this article today. Seemed like a great way to get rid of all the power steering mess we have. Anyone attempted anything like this? Donwsides?

"It's as simple as whipping up a laser cut adapter to hold the brake booster and powered column to the firewall."
I was about to make a smart*** comment about how that might not be possible for a lot of folks (and I say that as someone who has access to that kind of equipment) but then I actually watched the video and it turns out that you can send in your file and have it shipped to your door, that's pretty slick. It looks like he only had to pay $35 to have that part made. Reasonably priced one off custom fab work shipped directly to you is going to open a lot of doors and save a lot of old cars.
All of that said, I wonder how a module like that out of a Prius would hold up to the loads placed on it in a Disco or any other heavy vehicle/off road application.
