I thought I had a nice spare steering wheel for the day my old one started looking really shabby and cracked....after finally borrowing a gooood puller from a mate I maged to remove my current steering wheel! :shock: it had taken a lot of cursing and banging and wd40 and what not...
The long awaited moment Came, I took my "new " steering wheel..and the splined hole was too small :?
I understood late bays has a bigger splined hole, or so I thought...
I also believed earlybays were splined holes were the small ones....
Mine is a 72crossover

Ok, so here is the question....how many types of steering wheel splines are there?
Is 72 a one off year for these?
I m probably going tobuy a new woodrim instead, but I really dont want to make a mistake with the boss....(not the wife!) ... :lol:
 
Iberico,
Bit of a pain you have there with the splines, My friends sell a lot of steering-wheels and the cross-over is always a bind. It would be to your advantage to give Phil or Andy a ring or an E-mail at wolfburghclassicparts and they'll put you right on what you need.

Cheers for the advice on the Audio unit, I'll be getting one of those.

Have you not seen the boiling water trick on camper van crisis, I was dubious myself but it does actually work 8)
