Looks to me like its from a model with twin storks. Back then the Audi emblem was printed on... As yours is embossed and clearly plastic in origin I'd say it was from late model 1303 1980s.....that is a guess mind you though.  :-)Geek

Thank you for posting up the pics to prove us old uns have still got a thing or two to lern  :D :D
I'm in my buggy,
It's raining,
I really don't care.

My column is indeed twin stalk, but I am looking to make it a single, hence buying the one that Manxdavid has for sale.
As the chassis is '67 I would have thought it would have a single stalk at that point in time. Unsure if this is right, but hey ho.
I would well imagine that the previous owners have probably used a different column in exactly the reverse way to me, so wanted twin stalks, if you get my drift...  ;D

Its all good and I look forward to having the opportunity to polish a metal casing and make it bling.....  ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
As I said before (because my was plastic) I did not know they had metal shrouds, but it all makes sense now in a strange kind of way.

:) :) :)

Yes 67 is a single stalk so David's will do what you need. Don't forget you will need a wiper switch if you haven't already sourced one. Try volksmagic  in oldbury Birmingham

I have not heard of them, but will give them a try.
I have got some switches etc in my collection of bits and bobs which might do the job, but will investigate Volksmagic. Always good to have another source.   ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up

Thanks for that, very useful. I appreciate it.
Especially if I get my plan under way to have a T2 in for rest as well.

Thank goodness for this forum and all its members, it makes such a change to the buggy enjoyment.  8) 8) 8)

Are you still interested in the column?
"Ah, Beach Buggies, sure, just a quick cheap way of getting a few more years out of a rusty Beetle. You can throw one together in a weekend." anon.

Yes sir I am, just up to my neck in other bits at the moment, are you in a hurry for the money or to part with it..?
Then we will need to make a plan for getting it etc.

will you be coming to Volksworld..... (possibly a stupid question  :D :D)

Sorry, I don't like static shows like Volksworld, they leave me cold. I'd only be going to catch up with B&W bit it's a long way so not bothering.

I'll try to find if someone can take it down there for me though.
