mk1 power steering

does anyone know if power steering can be fitted to a mk1 golf ?

 

TSR do a kit or fit it for you. Bit pricey though

didnt want to pay a grand plus vat? does anybody know what steering racks fit from other vehicles?, tsr must have got the idea from somewhere? [:^(]

 

Wimp!!!!!!!!

 

800gs told me a while back that a Nissan Bluebird(I think) rack can be modified to fit, havn't tried it yet though.

 

Bluebird rack, Primera arms I believe. You'll need to make adaptor plates to get it on the Mk1 bulkhead mounts, and you need to cut and shut the steering column UJ to use Golf bits at one end and Bluebird at the other...

I seem to remember someone saying a MK4 Polo setup would work, but you'll need to weld new mounts.

On the other hand I could be hallucinating.

 

why would you want power steering on a mk1?????

 

does the bluebird rack give you a differnt ratio?

 

If you need power steering on a mk1, your rims are too big!

If you dont need power steering on a MK1, your steering wheel is too big and/or your wheels are too small!

Cheers,

Andy.

 

your not wrong there

 

Or:

your car is too fast, and changing gear with one hand on the wheel somewhere near a corner is nigh on impossible, and loses time....

That's where I'm coming from

Join a gym mate! Get those arms pumped up a bit.

 

No need for gym weights - got plenty of 7 x 15s to carry about!

 

7x15s bit light for any serious overload training

what did 800gs run on his vr4x4 mk1? surely that would need power steering, or mabe not as he is a huge bloke

 

Does anyone know the exact combination of rack and arms to use for the MK1's as I've heard stories of Nissan Micra, Ford Escort MK5 to name a few so who's a clever dickie and knows..........END OF!!
