I am pretty sure the Saab has a rack with a push rod at each end; manual only. The steering column input shaft is on the left side. I had not considered cables.
I am going to have to see how the whole front end fits. The half shafts may each have to be ~7" shorter than stock, so that may be too short for decent angles on the CV and U joints. If I can use the narrower Bridgestone tires (from the i3) then I can possible fit the shortened shafts in the chassis, or the wheels may have to be pushed out and the sides modified.
OR, I have to find a good AC motor(s) that can be set up with the output couplings about 11"-14" apart. The current motor choice is ~20" between the output couplings. The original thought was to have back-to-back direct drive twin motors.
