my rincon now has power steering

where to start?? it,s fairly well made kit with some junk parts thrown in. the old adage " the devil is in the details". the bottom shaft did not have a beveled
edge . u will damage the seal without that beveled edge.

the motor mount needed mega grinding to clear the brake line. I had to bend
the brake line as well.

the right hand motor mount bracket was not even close to fitting so I made one.

I bolted it above the winch rely where I tied in for power. no sense in going all the way back to the battery when I got power right handy.

the wiring harness. now this takes the cake. the real cheap inline 40 amp
fuse holder was only a few inches from the plug that goes in to the ECU.
the ECU is mounted behind the inner front wheel fender . that fuse is a long way from the power source. old school ios mount the fuse as close the the power source as possible. I bought a sealed fuse holder with a bolt on bracket
at auto parts plus for a few bucks..

now how does it work??? it,s fantastic on the trail. I put 100 KMs on it today
and usaly I get a burning pain in my neck but not today. now on the road.
it,s way to easy. it needs a switch to cut the power at high speed. if u look sideways, that’s where your heading. 55 KMs is my max comfy speed now.
another thing, the little LED light that tells u the power steering is working
is wired 2 inches from the plug in the ECU which is behind the inner fender .
all in all , the sales clerk was real nice the shipping to Canada was painless,
but they got to realize that like a chain , it,s only as strong as it,s weakest
link. rant over
