Would like to keep the motor nice and original, so going back to basics…. no power steering - so if anyone has this part or knows where I can find one, please let me know where you/they are and how much you're after!!
Cheers in advance

make sure you have the foam seal which fits on the bottom just inside the rubber boot as without it you get alot of noise coming through from the engine.
You should be able to see from inside the car, near the carpet.

Thanks again for advice though, very much appreciated by a non-mechanic minded vw enthusiast!

I think you are doing the right thing going back to none power steering, as long as you don't try to turn the steering wheel when stationary you will be fine as when moving I can turn the wheel with just 1 finger and thumb and you get a better feel of what the wheels are doing when driving as I think that is what the Mk1 golf is all about, the driving experience.
