How did you fit the Golf steering wheel? Adapter, Golf steering column or ?

good question not easy to do. the original inner bonnet section is pressed with indentations to allow the steering column and fuse box to fit. it wont allow the golf column to sit correct and flat under the dash

I cut out a section approx. 300mm x 200mm and welding in flat sheet metal to allow the golf steering column to sit flat against the sheet metal

this also allowed a bigger Type 3 fuse box that uses the indicator, headlight and intermittent washer modules to be fitted and a Audi headlight and hazard flasher switch under the dash, so I don't have any switches of radio on the dash its full plated to fill in the original holes for radio s, speakers n switches etc

So I used the Mark 1 golf column with wiper switch on lever with the outer column housing bolted to the new flat sheet metal and used the outer column tube to run down the original beetle firewall steering tube hole.

I used the lower section off the 65 for the steering box end. I made a stepped bush approx. 200mm long to fit in the golf section and the Beetle section, Both tubes are different IDs and it had to be stepped to give the strength also crossed pinned it into position, and hasn't moved in 20 years

Hope this explains

Not trying to be rude - but over 2700 people have viewed your ad on this site. If you're serious about trying to sell it, have you considered advertising it on Ebay, Carsales, Gumtree etc?

vw54 ·

yes

had over 100 enquirers but they all want the car for $100 or so

none have ever owned or driven a VW before or realize the work that has been done

Buttons are useless as i wear T Shirts

Why not try a new tact

vw54 ·

thanks Karmann141

I have already investigate Shannon's, there pricing / advertising costs are a bit over the top
The car above would have cost approximately $3000.00 to sell in there auction and if the seller wanted a reserve price then it would have been closer to $4000.00

From talking with Shannon's auction people they state they have a 100% sell rate, it may be an option down the track

I get 5 or 6 enquiries every week from having an advert in the side and back windows of the car, unfortunately they all want it for $1000 or less

There copy BRMs they also fitted front n rear EMPI wide 5 discs not my choice for sure
