I don't know why this setup wouldn't work for my Classic Roadster too.
EPAS thinks the area between the dash and firewall is the best place for their Microsteer unit, which means removing the steering column and cutting it into two pieces. I would much rather buy their 1100 series electric assist rack that your picture shows and just bolt it in and hookup the wires. Otherwise mounting the Microsteer on my rack is my second choice.
Converting to a hydraulic Mustang 2 rack and mounting/matching an electric pump to it should work but it looks like there is not much room for that pump, I would have to look around for a "right size" pump.
I have sent pictures to EPAS yesterday of my steering column, u-joints, shafts and rack mounting.
I am waiting for their reply.
