The Flaming River column showed up today. It has an integrated DCE Microsteer unit for power assist. My TCI rack and pinion steering is manual, so the F/R unit can be tuned to suit the driver. The steering ECU will accept a speed input, so it automatically increases the assist at slow speeds and reduces it at highway speeds. It also has a switch for manual operation that allows you dial in as much assist as you want. In addition to the column with the Microsteer unit, it came with the electronics, wiring, floor and column mounts and all the hardware. I considered sourcing a Prius or some other model column with an electric steering unit but in the end, I decided for something as important as steering, I'd pay the extra for the peace of mind. Together with the Tesla electric brake booster I bought awhile back, I'm halfway to a homemade hybrid.
