Can you put Power steering in a gen 1?

can you take the rack out of a series 3 or 4 or 5 if they have power steering and put it in a series 1? or are there power steering kits?

You cannot use a rack and pinion from other 7's in the 1st gen. You can however put all the P/S components from a 1st gen.

This vendor has a rack & pinion set up for the 1st gens but it is not power.

Unless you are in some way crippled, I can't imagine why you'd want power steering in a 1st gen.
