I'm now working on a power steering system for my V8 car. I'm using a Golf P/S unit and a Toyota MR2 electric pump. There will be some pictures soon, I'm building the bracket to mount the power rack to the 914 cross member.
I'll doc the build up in this thread.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Here is one tie-rod,
The end is 930, seems the thread/size is the same as the Jetta rack I'm using. The tie-rod had to be shortened 4 inches. I put some threads on the male and female to lock in place and will weld the peaces up next. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:http://members.cox.net/altjamy/Tie%20Rod%20914.jpg) |
