Mhh, i am in South Africa and know of a beetle standing and rusting away in the savannah about 1 hr from here. I pass there about times a week and will check if the steering wheel is there and if yes, in which shape. The engine is gone, long ago, i know that as the back is open, otherwise i would have taken the engine out already. I post it here in the group if it´s there.

Thanks, Bart! Stephen
The only thing is, I hope you're not in a hurry because these people take FOREVER to get anything done. After about 8 weeks I finally told them to just sell me an unrestored wheel so I could drive my super beetle.

Thanks, Chris--I just emailed them. I'm in no hurry--I just want to replace the small racing wheel with a stock wheel.

I checked it today but the wheel is in very bad shape. If i see another one, i post it. If it was a bus one, no problem, have several.

Stephen-
They come up on ebay occasionally. Be sure to get the part number because 72-79 wheels look the same but 72-73 wheels have a larger spline.
Here's a pretty nice '72-'73 wheel without the center pad/horn button:
My wheel has the little sticker with instructions how to start the car:
TO START ENGINE: -Sit down -Buckle up -Turn key
Although I'm confident that I will eventually commit these instructions to memory I'll probably leave the sticker there (in case someone needs to borrow my car). Then again, if I remove it, it might be good theft prevention.

Thanks, Ted--these were great leads--I appreciate you taking the time and effort to look them up!

Where are you located? I have an unrestored 73 super wheel attached to the steering column in my garage.

Hi Dennis,
I'm in central Illinois. What kind of shape is the steering wheel in?
Steve
...likely round

I live in south central Iowa. I will check out the wheel and write back today.

The wheel is cracked in several places and not a good one at all. Sorry

Thanks, Dennis--I appreciate the try! Take care, Steve
