Hi,
I really need a steering box in good condition to suit my 1974 L Superbug. I cannot rego him without another one - mine is shot 馃檨
If you have one in good condition and you are willing to sell please U2U or reply here.
Thanks

The Super Beetles steering box was'nt made as well as the torsion bar beetle's steering box...
I don't know what the problem is, but they wear out...
& getting a good used one may be difficult..
they sell heaps of Super beetle's steering boxes in the US
and they aren't cheap either...
Best of Luck

I have a 76 L bug sitting in my back yard. Body TOO far gone to fix up. Mecanical bits and pieces are ok(no motor) as far as I know. Guards and glass ok doors rat shit. bonnets were good but haven't looked at her for a while. So if you want something or anyone else does drop me a u2u and we can sort something out.

Where abouts are you??
You can get kits to repair them.
IF you know a really good machine shop they can do the work.
Around $450 is my guess.
Good second hand ones are like $250
I have some fair condition spares that are better suited for a rebuild.
V Force has access to the kits and a machinist
BTW
The 76L bug is either a 75L or a 76
76's were beam front end and different to supers
75L's were rack and pinion - again different to 71-74 supers.
Can yo define better what you have - i might be interested if its a 75L

any 71 - 74 superbug L or S box will fit (75 L have rack and pinion) but just be aware that the 71-mid 73 have a different drop arm but all u have to do is swap it over
i fitted the new box from my 71 sbug to my 74 Lbug all i had to do was swap the drop arm
the 74s have one like in barrys pic with the lock to lock adjusters on where as 71- 73 are like these old ones of mine dont
