Hi

That looks nice, it gets rid of the uneven tie rod length.

Looks pretty well designed, I wonder how the steering geometry is now.

Well finally someone comes up with the r&P steering for the torsion beam front end. I wonder what the steering ratio is. It would be cool to use the original (size) classic bug steering wheel and have an ultra quick steering response. Btw. I was dreaming bout r&p for my type 3 squareback. Because the type 3 framehead being different than the type 1 bug I thought it would be much easier to graft in the r&p type steering box. (or for a Porsche 550 replica)
Something else struck my attention.

That's a ''cool'' cooling system for the type 4 using orig. parts.:agree:

I like that set-up too.
Please share the steering ratio!

The rack itself looks like pictures I've seen of the very unusual Passat rack.

For anyone interested, they only make LHD. Looks like I'll be fabricating my own at some point I think. Seems pretty straight forward
