Have you ckecked the "U" joint on the steering shaft between the steering wheel and the steering box? I would think that there would be some kind of quality control on a rebuilt unit to make sure the lash could be adjusted out.
A R&P conversion would be a nice upgrade if you cant get it worked out. :agree:

Yes, I have replaced the entire shaft, and it is very good. No play. I was looking around for R&P conversions, but it seems that because the steering shaft (with the U-joints) goes almost directly down to the driver's side inner fender, it would be pretty dificult to get it to move toward the center of the car where a R&P would go.
If anyone has a picture of a later R&P car steering mechanism, or a cut away showing the steering, that would help me get an idea how VW did it for the 75+ cars. Thanks, Nick
