Hi guys, I have had a look around but failed to find any info on manual to power steering conversions. Looking for a rough estimate of cost and required parts. I'm hoping to be able to pick up a complete rack and associated accessories from a wrecker or ebay, any ideas?? Cheers Jakenasa P.S. will get some photos up soon, still early days!!

It's pretty straight forward. Just got to a wrecker and pull the complete kit. Gives you an idea how it all goes together too. Swap over, make your money back selling the manual kit, and then get a steering alignment.

Otherwise I can probably detail each part of the system and give you a rough idea where it all goes. There are some variances between early and late model VLs re: the way the lines run and attach to the PS pump.
