Hi guys! I made some more progress since the last update. Now the steering rack brackets are ready, and the rack is on. The brackets are a little thin, so maybe I'll copy them in a thicker material if needed.


I used the u-joint shaft from a VW Golf, but I changed it's rack-end with the Audi one. In the second pic, starting up to down, late Porsche 944 shaft (and I think it's the same for the late post '75 VW1303), then Golf2, pre '75 1303, and Audi 100.


The tie-rod assemblies are Audi 100 C4. The length is perfect.
I didnt manage to drive it yet because I can't get it out on the street... a mountain of construction sand is blocking my way out, so I have to wait a few weeks.

And I'm in the process of making the power steering work too
I mounted an electrical power steering pump, from the Vw Polo/lupo or Skoda Fabia or Seat Ibiza/Cordoba. The pressure lines are in too, I didnt manage to start it yet, it needs some wiring, a sensor mounted on the steering column and a good electrician to sort it all out.



Don't start asking me why I needed power steering.... its a challenge... I just want to see if I can do it :d
