Has anyone ever installed 12 volt electric power steering in a Thing ?
If yes, please provide some, or all, details. Better yet, provide photos ?
Before you ask why, it would benefit my granddaughter.

Maybe interesting:

Here's a guy adding electric power steering to a tube frame dune buggy:

His work is a little "half-assed", (to be generous) but it is VW related.

This guy takes a more serious approach, but it's non-VW:

I would just ask that you be very careful with engineering and installation on a project like this; safety first!

Good luck, Mondshine

This is the one I installed on my 1973 VW Thing.
