The answers partly depend on your particular setup. What version Roadster (Mk3, Mk4, etc.) and what engine for starters.

Sorry for the missing info. I believe it is an MK2, built in 2002. it has a 351 Windsor.
You have a number of options. Multiple threads on the subject. Here's a recent one. https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...Steering-Mk3-2. Since you posted in the Factory Five Tech area, assume you're looking for a response from Factory Five directly. They don't post here too often though. Your best bet to get a quick response from them would be to call.

I sent Mark at Breeze an email telling him what I had (Mk1 with 302) and he gave me a detailed itemized list of what I needed to add power steering. I bought everything from him minus the pump and pump bracket. You may want to do the same.
