Help!
I've got a friend half way throught the conversion on my 74 1303, which doesn't have fixing bolt holes. When we offer the rack up with the UJ arm it just touches the bottom of the steering column. We've cut out the support on the bottom of the spare wheel well and clearanced the top of the spine. Is the 75-on column longer? Any help/comments are appreciated. Andy |

I'm using the rack from an Audi 4000 / VW Fox / VW Quantum.
It has center-mounted rack ends, end-mounted input and is available with power steering if I get old and feeble! |

Where would one go about buying a r&p? I'm in the middle of nowhere canada and not a lot of super beetles around.

Hello all
vwbao, if you want I could send you some photos, to see which are the differences between the stock one and the Audi one. Actually I couldn't tell you for sure which model exactly is but its something about the years 78-80. Just give me a mail address to send you the pics and you could go after it with the pics in hand. About what dorigtt said, if what he describes is the smaller aluminum bodied assembly (from the European VW polo), I think you could go this way much easier, because is a lot smaller and thus easier to fix it. Actually there is a German company that has this conversion (with TUV included) ready as a bolt on kit, as soon as I find the link I will post it Friendly JIMP |

The reconditioned one is the original, the other with the tie rods it's an 80's unit from some Audi (80 or 100) or Passat. Sorry for not being exact, but at three different reckers that I was, each one named it as he liked. Anyway I was with a rack in one hand and just was searhing after another one identical, that way it was easy!
