[T3] How to add power steering to our type 3's

[Keith Park]

Interesting, Ive never mess with the tire pressures in the winter.

Delivered my tranny to the builder up in Glens Falls today, I sure found the
right guy, he had a 69 fastback I didn’t know about at the end of the
driveway!
So one more car coming to the invasion next summer...

It's really simple --- overinflate your front tires!

 

I thought I had Elwood all put away for the long winters nap. Full tank of
non-ethanal fuel with Stabil, fresh oil change, overinflate all tires to
38/40 psi.. bla, bla, bla.

Then today I had to drive it from one garage bay to the other side and
Voila' - instant power steering!!!  Man, with 38/40 psi. in the front tires
it was amazingly easier to steer!

 

Of course NEVER actually drive your type 3 with overinflated tire pressures,
but I thought it was pretty funny to feel what our cars would feel like with
power steering.
