Installed the Horn Brush Mod over the weekend, works fine but I think I need to find a carbon brush for the under wheel brush. I used a 56 ford shaft contact in both locations but the contact end is brass, it makes some noise when you rotate the wheel and it rubs on the contact collector ring. I expect this will wear out either the brush or the copper collector.

I will look at it next week when I finish the wiring for the Electric Power Steering I am installing, I have tested it with temp wiring and I can rotate the steering wheel with 1 strong finger with the tires on a concrete floor, A great improvement from the "Steering by Armstrong" (manual) that I used to have, and guess what Ma, no fluid to leak.

Will do a write up in the EPS install when it's done. Hope I figure out how to post multiple photos by then.

We'll be waiting for the electric power steering article. Been curious about that for a while.

An aside on the subject of power steering. I can always spot a driver who have never driven manual steering..they're moving the car say out of a parking spot..each move of the wheel is only done when the car is stopped. Sure, it's real easy at the steering wheel end,.. but it's not easy on the steering assembly at the road end!  Let's say 1500 lbs at the front end, on two pieces of rubber digging into dry asphalt. I figure front end shops likely would recommend driving like that. It probably helps keep them in business..
