I like the quality welding on this piece. The fact that it comes unfinished is a plus as I had it powder coated the color of my choice.

Could I get one for a right side drive? I have a 70 type 1 and was thinking about converting it to a right side drive from what I can tell by the picture it would be the steering box mount and master cylinder that just flip sides. If so i would be very interested in special ordering one .

Bump steer A hot rods tie rod and steering rod sit right behind the axle and therefore travel through the same arc when under suspension load. As the beetle has a tunnel, with your kit the tie rod sits well above the line of the axle and the steering rod sits at an angle to meet the tie rod at one end, how does your kit get around the bump steer problem that would be created by the tie rod and steering rod not being right behind the axle therefore going through different arcs when the vehicle is under suspension loads.

Will this work on a 72 Super Beetle? I know the year is correct but It says it works on a beetle and does not mention Super Beetle which is different.
