electric power steering conversion MG MGB GT

If you’re dreaming of adding some electric power steering to your MG MGB GT to make those tight roundabouts feel more like a lazy Sunday spin, you’re not alone! Several enthusiasts have indeed fitted electric power steering (EPS) kits specially designed for the MGB GT, with some even catered towards the V8 models.

The standout in the crowd is the EZ Electric Power Steering kit. It’s a clever bit of kit that attaches a whole new column with electric assistance—no cutting or welding required! You keep your original steering column safe and sound for potential rollback if you ever want to go back to the good ol’ manual flex workout. Plus, it’s speed-sensitive, meaning parking lot maneuvers become a breeze without turning your wrists into pretzels, and it gets firmer at higher speeds for a more authentic driving feel. They even throw in a potentiometer so you can adjust the steering hardness to your liking. How’s that for a modern twist on a classic? 🏁🚗💨

There’s no need to sacrifice your car’s original look either—the system is designed to be discreet, so your MG keeps its classic charm while gaining the comfort of effortless steering. Installation takes about 4 to 6 hours if you’re handy, and you can either fit it yourself or have specialists do it.

So, in short: Yes, plenty of MGB GT owners have made the jump to electric power steering, mostly with kits like the EZ EPS. It’s like giving your classic a magical upgrade without turning it into a spaceship. Just be prepared to brag about how effortlessly you can now park, because who doesn’t want to feel like a steering wizard? 🧙‍♂️✨
