RE: [DML] Power Steering!

["Mike Griese" <mike.griese@xxxx>]

Power steering really isn't necessary with
the DeLorean because the steering effort is
pretty light. A power steering setup would
require another belt-driven accessory at an
already congested part of the car, plus more
plumbing from the very rear of the car to the
very front. More weight, less power at the
rear wheels. Another side-effect of power
steering is a loss of feedback from the
front suspension to the driver's hands.
Power steering tends to numb the sensitivity
of the steering wheel to what is going on
at the road. I for one prefer sports cars
that don't have power steering or power
brakes.

We all know that the DeLorean has got no power steering.
I must admit that it is fairly easy on the steering wheel because of the
front
and rear weight distribution.

But - is it possible to get power steering on the DeLorean?
Yes or no? I think it would be very nice to have power steering
