If you are in Europe you want the Fiat Punto. If you are in the US you want the Ford Fiesta unit. They are almost the same and you will not find a more compact unit.
The REASON I dropped the pursuit of the Fiat part was that the Fiesta unit is for all intents and purposes the same part.
This also brings up a question as to age and iterations of EPS. The Fiat Punto has been produced since the mid 90's and an eBay UK search turns up a bunch of units with the motor (the earlier Punto link posted unit does not include the motor) and reasonable postage. My question now is are early EPS the same as modern EPS in form and function?
I am at the point I think to learn more I need an EPAS column just to tear down and fully understand how it functions and how parts could be grafted onto the Pantera column.
