How do i correct steering wheel play in my '61 Ghia which causes carto drift.

You will need a 17mm allan wrench. On the steering box (access behind spear tire) loosen large nut and turn 17mm bolt untill the steering feels tight, re tighten nut.

Scirocco 16V struts

The best thing I can tell you is to look at the strut inserts on both the 8v and 16v and you will see they are different size. I don't believe the insert from a 16v will fit in a 8v housing.
