I just thought that part of that solid piece might still have these tie-rods to allow you to make those adjustments?

Oh, btw, if I haven't introduced myself yet.... My name is Theo, lived in London before moving to France, born in S.Africa though(20km from Jo'burg). Got a 1303 Super(year?) that was refered to by a friend as a "rust bucket" that needs a resto. A '66 Type 3 Fastback and a CombiSplit is in the NEAR future!

Hey Theo, great to meet you. One of my good friends here is from S.A., but he's got a disease called rugby. You havn't caught that have you?

Yeah, its just a toe adjustment. They are very common on the rear end of a lot of cars. The inner balljoint will stay in the same position, just the mount will be solid and stable.
