if you can source a mk1 pas pipe and fit that then it wont rub, the easiest and cheapest way is to get teh new pipe fitted then bend it out the way with a big screwdriver/something large

the pipe for future reference is drivers side and it rubs on the steering arm so look round that areasmileys/smiley17.gif
