Has anyone ordered from Flat-4 directly with success?
Apart from the fact its in Japanese I can't seem to find a stockist that has their range in full...

They sure don't answer their emails, they do list some us stockists on their site but as you say they only carry common bits
Bizarre ·
Classiv Vee Dub is a Flat Four agent/stockist

I just came back Fromm Japan and visited flat 4, unreal to visit but the prices are really not that great I'm sure the prices for their product will be better out of the states. Air cooled vw's in Japan..... Didn't see any so the demand for product would be almost none meaning the prices will be high.

I have looked at their replica steering wheels, but 400 buks is a fair bit for a steering wheel. Anyone know of another manufacture that make good replicas and isn't Chinese in origin? Looked at ISP west steering wheels on their site but I don't know what the quality is or where they are made?

These guys do repro VW wheels; I remember in VW trends they got an award for best vintage or restoration product.
Their ads had a guy (big guy) doing a handstand on one of their steering wheels

oh not them 👎
I bought a few repro parts made by that group. absolutely horrible quality, occasionally some bits were alright but not great, I chose to reuse the old parts as they looked better. I wouldn't want to risk it.
I think I will ask ISP where they get their wheels from and who makes them.
looking like i might have to bite the bullet if all else fails.
