RHD conversion steering box question

LOL yeah i forgot about the column holes to but thats probally the easy part

I have a 66 RHD in Thailand that I am using for a GL Speedster donor with tube frame and rack and pinion A-arm front suspension.
As such I do not need any of the Beetle bits including steering and dash

You are welcome to them for a round of amber liquid if ever in Chiangmai, but shipping will be the expense.

if the steering box is twice the price of the standard one you have the right one, mainly because it was only a 2 year item on only the 1302 they are bloody expensive

Hi

The same steering box was used on RHD supers from 71 - 74.

hoghead, thanks for the offer but a 66 standard would be the wrong parts for my car.

SteveC, that is the answer i was looking for since i did not know the exact year that the boxes were interchangable. I assume in 75 is when the r&p came out and a steering box was no longer used?

And would you know if the pitman arm attached to the steering box is RHD/LHD specific as i will be needing one for a RHD if they are RHD specific. I know the idler is RHD and i have that on the way.

If you're not in a really big hurry I am planning on removing the whole front suspension off of my 73 RHD 1303.
I will be using it as a body donor for my 75 and plan on keeping the R&P from the 75 and putting on the 73 body so I have no need for the 73 bits and pieces they can be yours if you pay for the shipping (I only have access to US Postal).
Problem is I won't be able to get to it till sometime in July
