Hi

That looks nice, it gets rid of the uneven tie rod length.

Looks pretty well designed, I wonder how the steering geometry is now.

Well finally someone comes up with the r&P steering for the torsion beam front end. I wonder what the steering ratio is. It would be cool to use the original (size) classic bug steering wheel and have an ultra quick steering response. Btw. I was dreaming bout r&p for my type 3 squareback. Because the type 3 framehead being different than the type 1 bug I thought it would be much easier to graft in the r&p type steering box. (or for a Porsche 550 replica)
Something else struck my attention.

That's a ''cool'' cooling system for the type 4 using orig. parts.:agree:

I like that set-up too.
Please share the steering ratio!

The rack itself looks like pictures I've seen of the very unusual Passat rack.
