The Williams and ph2 Valvers have the exact same seats, just a different cloth pattern but they certainly are the best of the bunch
It was the leather seat option in the Valver that used the R19 front seats
Yep (y)
Unfortunately getting the fluid out is going to piss out all over the place & make a mess no matter what you do so use some cardboard & plenty of rags to soak up the worst of it
The pipe circled in red goes to the power steering fluid reservoir and the 1 in green connects to the pump
The nut & bolt that connects the column & rack looks like this and it goes on the shaft you circled in green
No need to touch any of those, on the bendy joint at the bottom of the steering column, on 1 side of it is a 13mm nut, undo that, pop the bolt out and it's disconnected from the rack
Here's some diagrams of the system, basically you need a standard fuel rail that has the regulator built into it and the correct pipes
Number 5 in this pic is the vacuum pipe that connects to the original regulator
I'd be looking at the mechanism from underneath to see what it's doing when operated and making sure both back wheels are locking up properly

As for the gear linkage, follow it to it's very end inside the rubber boot & undo it from there, don't touch the clamp part of it, that's...
The top part of the belt (on a standard 172 cup setup at least) goes underneath the water pump pulley otherwise it rubs the cover.
On that setup I think it's a 4pk belt that you need to stop it rubbing
The belt will only rub the cover if it's routed incorrectly -can't see the video for some reason- the belt needs to go underneath the water pump pulley
Only in my MK1's & mainly for being a bit nonce like for OEM-ness, so can't really say what they're like on the MK2 in comparison tbh
It's more the PS3's that are the go to tyre for the 1*2's which I've found to be true but my preference now is Avon ZV7. From 3 years of having them on my 172...
