Anyone parting out a Karmann Ghia??
Chasing a steering column, shaft & tube;
as early model as possible, 1960?
these are a little longer than equivalent beetle item.

Is an oval era Beetle one the same? Got one here complete.

the steering column in my 1960 is original and is the same length as a beetle . swapped it over whilst the original went for blasting and paint.

Dean,
Would you mind measuring it for me, the actual steering shaft?
I have the required length written down here somewhere.......
Over at the Samba they reckon the KG is longer(?)
It'd be great if they were interchangeable.
thanks.
Andy
The measurement I got from the Samba was 95.5cm, not counting the
part that attaches to the rubber coupling.nn[ Edited on 19-7-2005 by lowrider ]

Hey Andy the steering coloumn is 725mm end to end
REDKG ·
i measured my kg column at 945 mm
lowrider ·
plot thickens eh?
I should dismantle the 70's one thats in the car & measure ...
maybe there's only a centimetre in it.
It's a lowlight, so I'm trying to keep that original look.
thanks Red & Grey

This colomn is off a 57 big window beetle.
Over 200mm thats a big diff. I will chack the part no for both in a early VW parts book I have.

Bugger , the book only covers Beetles up to 59/60.
But the Beetle part no is 111 415 555 B. If thats any good to you
