I have a classic VW Resto shop, so I know what you mean about the tabs. Only issue I ran into was the adjustement screw was a bit taller than the stock box and was not clearing the body work. Cut about 3/8″ off and cut a new slot on the top. Set the toe and drove the hell out of it. Steering is still a little sensitive and tight, but I had rebuilt the front end on this car 2 years ago (new ball joints, tie rods, etc.) and he has put maybe 20 miles on the car since. And of course he forgot to put any fuel stabilizer in it when it sat for 2 years so his kid dicked with the carb adjustments to get it to run a couple months ago. Idle mix screwed the whole way in and idle set at 2000 RPMs……Gonna take the kids screwdrivers away…LOL…. Anyway – thanks and its going home in the next day or two and maybe he will start to drive it…..
Turns out it was really easy. Unbolted the coupler, and dropped the pitman arm. Removed the clamp. Gave it a slight twist and pulled it out the side. About 15 minutes into this and am installing the new box right now. Ponder this before cutting the body to make adjustments……Technically the steering box can be set up on a bench…
