Where to buy TRW steering box

Hi,

I am looking to buy a new, good quality (not made in China) steering box ideally TRW for '70 beetle. Does anyone in Australia sell them? the dealers I have contacted so far only have to Chinese ones.

Have you tried Micks Motors up your way or Tooley Imports in Hornsby

no many around now days u might be lucky with some old stock

Have not tried Mick yet, will try tomorrow.

I have found plenty in the UK and US, but would prefer to buy locally.

Is the same unit used for right and left hand drive?

I believe the same steering box is used for Right or Left..

check out VVDS or even VOLLKS.com in Sydney...

Is Your beetle a superbug???

Lee, no it is not a superbug

Really hard to find a genuine German made one ..... I have heard that NZ is a good place to look ..you could have a squiz on Trade Me .com which is a New Zealand site ...some great and stuff on there!
Hope this helps ... a bit!

I bought one a few years ago from VW and Volvo centre at Salisbury. You could also try Leons as well.
