Hi there

Im trying to fit a steering wheel to my 72 Beetle. The streeting wheel came off another Beetle so should slip straight on but have a small problem.

When I fit it I cant seem to get the wheel to fit flush and have a 1/4 inch gap left as the picture shows below.

How would I get it to fit properly?

Cheers
Rob

Is the wheel off identical model?
Check part numbers if you have original wheeel.

Kurt said it would fit, i have it on a bit better and the beetle is in with him for a service friday! Cool

BUT...after a drive to bunnings, we walk around and get back to the car park and the car starts up sounding like this:-
