not sure about the Lbug one, but I have one from another model (i think) in my buggy that is collapsable and i'm fairly sure it would fit or at least
go close. the tricky bit might be the upper mount under the dash. the bottom end hooks up to the early steering box with no probs.
alternatively, just pull the collapsable shaft out and put it in the early column.
