Default Power steering electric conversion

Please bear in mind that the gear ratio of the non-power steering systems is much lower than for the powered systems. A 408 needs many more turns of the steering wheel lock-to-lock than a 409 with PAS. So it may be nice to have the assistance for parking, but once the car is rolling along, it will probably make the steering far too light.
