Long story but a friend of mine is looking for a LHD steering box. As far as I know both LHD & RHD boxes are the same but the arms are different. Is this correct?
He has just been told my a VW mechanic that they are different. Can someone confirm please?
This is for a 1302
Thanks

Hi

No 1302 is flat, the 1303 had the curveed screen, they both used the same steering box until 75 when the 1303 went to rack & pinion.
