even tho its raining and freezing outside. i wen out and measured mine.

my steering wheel nut is 27mm.

and for what its worth i have a 27mm 1/2 inch drive socket and a 30mm 1/2 inch socket so the bolts at end of frame horns must be 30mm!!!nn[ Edited on 2-8-2005 by helterskelter400 ]

I hold on to the steering wheel in our beetle and I am a bit of a nut, and I am 6 foot tall 🙂
