P/S setup...including body brackets!

[nealtovsen at yahoo.com (Neal Tovsen)]

I'm somewhat familiar with the XT-6 setup.

I wouldn't mind going that route, but I'm not entirely
sure yet of it's legality in my autocross class. In
fact, I'm not really sure of the legality of ANY power
steering in my Scirocco, but if I could replicate a
"factory" system, I might be able to get away with
it...or at least escape detection. :)
