where are you?

Hi, not sure if you're after new or second hand, but Classic VW stock these, and the horn rings too I think.
But definitely call George, emails sometimes go unanswered for a while.

You can find good used steering wheels about..

or You can fit a later model beetle/type 3 collapsible steering wheel.. designed to collapse if You hit it
[no seatbelt??]

New steering wheels are VERY expensive....

Yes the dish type as used since around 1960 may fit..

similar to what was on Your car originally..

so a 1968 to 1972 dished steering wheel will fit straight on...

with the horn bar and horn button..

there are heaps of these about used...

where are you??????????????

Got your email cruise98, hmm, bit far away to make it worth your while to post I would think as I'm in Newcastle NSW. Good idea to update your profile so that we all know where you are, city/town and state is good enough

mine is the older style
