Great videos. I am working on updating a MK 1 as well and I was curious about the part number for the steering shaft grommet you are using. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
Grommet that I found as being the best option is Help/Dorman part number 42344. Hoping to have it installed for the next video.

Been a while since I have updated anything. The weather turned on us here and the car is now put away for the winter. I will be posting some videos this winter as I do have projects/work in the pipeline, but have been side-tracked with my other project car trying to complete an engine swap with it. More to come.
