i want to swap the steering box and tie rods from a 1964 type 1 and fit to an early 1960 KG. the later steering box has a slightly different shape and size drop (pitman) arm and the drivers side tie rod has adjustable ends and the rod is straight. the early tie rod is non adjustable and has a slight bend. are they interchangable

I think the 60 model has the different arm to fit into the fuel tank area as there are 2 different fuel tanks, so that may be why the different pitment arm, dont worry about the bends

find some tie rods that are fully adjustable on both ends much easier to do the wheel alignment let me know, i have a few tie rods you can use if needed

when fitting make sure you center the steering box turn to turn before fitting the tie rods ring me
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
