Gday.

Does anyone has a quick pic of a parts diagram of a steering shaft assembly for a '73 L bug? Steering column bits please.
For what I want any late model steering shaft diagram would do I think.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is a change in 1973 - 74 between big and small spline'd shafts

Hey guys, thanks!

My web-technique was crap yesterday, I'm back to 2am starts at work! 😂

I think I found it, I needed the position and setting of the ball bearing at the top of the steering shaft inside the column.
SKF 309297
It's a bit notchy and I'd like to replace it, I sent an email to SKF coz the local bearings places can't help, so I hope they can. Better than trying to mod something if I don't need to.
