Hello

I was wondering if anyone had a late model beetle collapsable steering column - I have one already but I must have the larger diameter splines because it doesn't fit my after market steering wheel.

Can someone confirm that some of the collapsable columns had the larger splines, and others had the smaller splines?

These are to go into a 1970 beetle. I have the indicator/ignition housing but also am missing the mounting brackets and bolts that hold it onto the body so I need to find that too! In addition I need to find the little spacer/plastic part on the column in the picture below. Plus the circlip pictured as well (not my pictures).

Finally I need a pitman arm for balljoint front end with the steering stops on the arm (only have link pin one with no steering stop bumps).

If you can help that would be great, obviously am happy to purchase the parts.

Thanks
Alan

So in summary I am chasing:

- steering colum with small diameter splines
- circlip pictured above
- plastic spacer thingy in picture above (on shaft)
- mounting bracket and bolts
- pitman arm for ball joint front end

Thanks

its mid 73 on bugs that have the smaller taper splines and before that is the bigger sqaure ones
i've got the columns from my 70 1500 and 74 1300 (both in use sorry) they are the same cept for the steering wheel splines

Bugger Ctefeh, didn't get the U2U - not sure why it didn't go through. If you prefer you could email me on alanagyik@hotmail.com, or try again?

Cheers

Alan,
You have email.
