Wow, very cool. I might do this in my Echo. It has a dedicated PS belt, so things would be easy. I learned to drive on a '66 Mustang with manual steering/drum brakes/trans, had a few others with manual steering (I am only 31 lol) so no big deal for me. Should I be hesitant for any of the PS componentry by doing this? Maybe let it run once a year or something? I am a truck driver and am out on the road four weeks at a time, drive 90 miles home, then 90 miles back to work a week later. It doesn't get much runtime.
