If it is too small it is from a later 74+ L bug

the boss kit I got has a much bigger hole...10mm or so, I did ask for my year before I bid and was told "no worries"馃ゲ
They are trying to get me the right one...fingers X

The difference between beetle shafts is about 2mm dia

Hi

All Beetle boss kits use the VW factory plastic & brass bit for the horn contact and blinker cancelling, check to see if the hub has that.

If your buying a Momo boss kit,
Momo Part #: 0248 - Volkswagen Beetle Up to 6/1974
Momo Part #: 8010 - Volkswagen Beetle 6/1974-1990

I am currently having the same issue but they have yet to get back to me. Probably bought it off the same guys.

Rob,

How did you get on with this? I recieved 1 response saying I would get a refund etc then communication went dead from the other end. The thing is that I have no idea what the boss kit would suit so I cant really advertise to sell it.

Cheers
Brendan

Let ebay know if they have ceased comunication.
