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

Let ebay know if they have ceased comunication.
