Who here has manual steering?

[Hulio]

Getting the conversion done on friday and just wanted to enquire who has done it and do they think its worthwile?
I read on here that a few people dont like the driving feel and the fact that there are slightly more turns lock to lock.
I suppose the only way to see is to try it and as I dont know anybody with this mod it looks like I am going to just try it myself!
Plus I am fed up of having to get my steering column re-welded every so often........
Any views on this would be appreciated.

you need the rack and rods,the column,a shorter alternater belt and a 1.7 gtx alt bracket!!!

not a hard job but fiddley!
