This solution would also allow me to custom tune the steering ratio for quicker
(less turns lock-to-lock, preferably 1/2 turn lock-to-lock, if the front end is light enough), and using non-circular gears, I could limit the quicker steering progressively towards left lock and right lock, without it being so sensitive to minor input at dead center.
