P5 3 Litre conversion to power steering

[davidg]

Phil, i have a customer who wants to convert his Mk1 to power steering, i think its as straight forward to take a steering box from a p5b/MK11/MK111 along with a dynamo with pump, reservoir and pipes and put the lot together.
Am i right, is there any alterations to the steering column

Very early Mk1's have different subframes box mounts I think - the early columns did not have a rubber bellows/grommet but both fit the power and manual boxes however the steering relay had a damper bulit on manual boxes with Mk1's so this must be replaced with the Mk2 onwards relay (also used on V8's)
