Hi,

unsure of the rules, hope it is ok to post here as no luck on mighty5s.

I have a 1997 Mk1 1.6 with manual steering. I'm fitting a Mk2.5 1.8 and as it has a power steering pump, I'd like to convert the car to power steering.

I realise that may go well and truly against the purist grain, but I would like to find someone willing to do a direct exchange of the rack, your p/s unit for my manual rack, relatively local to Dorset, UK.

The car has done 100,700 miles, so something equivalent or having been refurb'ed is my ideal. I'll need all the fixtures and fittings necessary and offer anything needed from my car.

The rack is still fitted, with the motor out but I cannot remove the front wheels at present, they are on ramps supporting the front of the car. Can the rack be removed without removal of the front wheels?

Matt

I sourced a Mk1 p/s rack in the end. manual is going spare. If someone wants it and can collect in Poole make me a cheeky offer. Next week, eBay.
