I know, and I appreciate it. I'm not criticising you! You told me
what you could.

I will eventually look at this conversion, depending on what a used
WagonR (or similar) electric PS will cost me. It may well be that the
conversion would cost less than using Vanagon parts (rack, tierods,
stubaxles, cost $900Australian plus, with a big shipping bill on top
of that) anyway!
