non power steering yes.. the original is a cast iron center with a rubber sandwiched between an outer cast iron section, which i guess is for anti vibration?

Can you not use the Mk3 item? maybe off an early 2E or 1.6
Worth eyeballing one up from a scrappy then buying a new one if it works out maybe.
