Converting Power Steering to Manual

[marc.getty at temple.edu (Marc Getty)]

Don,

Assuming it is a Mk2, you need to use a steering knuckle from a manual
steering Mk2. *NO* other knuckle will work. Not from a
GTI/Caddy/Cabby/Carbio/Iltis/anything.

I'm 95% sure that I have an extra of the correct steering knuckle to so
the conversation at home that I'd be willing to part with. Make me an
offer if you are interested.

-Marc

BTW: I *LOVE* manual steering!

Subject: Converting Power Steering to Manual

Just ordered a new rack and parts from GAP to convert from Power
Steering to Manual on the Punks car.  GAP told me I need to get a
different universal knuckle from an older A1 car that had manual
steering as the splines on the manual rack are different and won't work
with the knuckle from on the car with PS.  Anyone heard of this?  Has
anyone had to do this when they converted.  and if so does anyone have
one of these?
