Looks like I will be using a power steering pump from a 86 Jetta that is at
the local auto wrecker.  I'm getting the pump, mounting brackets and hoses
for 75 Canuck Bucks so I think (hope) this is the simplest solution.  Rest
assured I will post the results on my site.  I wonder if the 1.6TDs in
Europe have power steering?

PS... The K.E.P. adapter is sitting at the Grey Hound Bus station!  Can't
wait!  :)
