After a steering coloum if anyone has one.
Just the long centre bit that the wheel bolts to one end, and the other end goes on the steering box.

( not the shroud that the indicator stalk goes on )


Anyone got one cluttering them up ?
( I've given 2 away over the years. Typical )

solid or collapsible a year will help, the two top sections I had for the GP build were different but both had column locks fitted however they were different so I had to remove a lock outer tube and weld in on to the column I needed. there are also different fittings in the column top section depending on year. no Idea of the donors  but guessing one was early 70's the other 74 on.

again VW made loads of little changes over the years to complicate matters

I got a couple of original ones in my garage. One is powder coated black has the collapsible section in good order too.

What size but do you need it to have?

My one has a collapsible bottom. And the splined part for the steering wheel is about 17mm wide as far as I can see in the half light with tired eyes.

Only changing as I shortened the shaft and fitted a deep dish wheel.
Looking to change the wheel now so Gemma can drive it. So need a standard length shaft or the wheel will be on my knees.
I could weld a section in, but while I'm gutting it I may as well just fit a new one. ( added to which I can't weld unless the definition of welding is blowing holes in stuff. I can do that !!)

As for year ....
Not a clue.
I'd guess between 1971 and 2007 ....

There is a guy down by us that has quite a few VW spares - ask for Adam at AJ Dubs 01803-526177

If he has anything suitable, I can pick it up and courier to you or hump/dump from Swanage if easier

Dave ... dunno if it`s me or what..  Phone number comes up as incorrect.  Googled AJ and all I get is disco dj.  There is a j dubs doing vw restoration but north of you a fair way at Leatherhead Surrey

Sorry mate - my bad

Just corrected the dialing code, as that's the number I never dial from here  :-[  ::)  01803 526177

His Dad will probably answer the phone, so ask for Adam, and tell him I sent you 

He`s only at the end of my road (doesn`t do anything as sophisticated as postage)  so let me know what you end up doing and I'll pick it up, or he will probably drop it off as he goes past
