[Fot] TR3 with 12V Power Steering unit?

[toodamnfunky at comcast.net]

I've seen electric pumps on rock crawlers & such but they are really big and take a lot of juice to drive them. 
Maybe something out of a Chevy Volt might work. 
It seems like the bigger challenge are hand controls. If this person is a para. with little or no use of his legs. 
At one time I had a business that specialized in hand controls for sports and race cars. 
We were the US importer of Guido Simplex controls from Italy. The same controls Alex Zanardi uses in the WTCC cars. 
I don't do it for a living anymore but still assist with some projects, the Corvette C5 6 speed ( link )was built for a paraplegic driver 
with all electronic throttle and clutch controls.

I have a special request from a handicapped wheel chair bound owner of a TR3 to install power steering in his long time owned 1957 TR3. So he can keep driving it. Has anyone ever done this and do you know of a very narrow rack and pinion with a compact 12 V electric motor assist? Someday we all might need this! 
Thank's 
Bill Redinger
