Manual steering conversion for CGT??

[Huw Powell]

my coupe was fluidless when I bought it, worked fine for a year or two
til I replaced some parts and made it have power steering again.

You will get Popeye arms from parallel parking and 3 point turns
however.

You can always just cut the belt of to try out the feel.  A manual rack
will have more turns lock to lock and so will be easier to use.  If you
can find one stateside.
