There's nothing more beautiful than the original, many will agree, they don't think of putting together an alternative, however exclusive it may be. Especially for this group of original restorers, we have included the original steering wheel model in our assortment. It is a reproduction, but a high quality reproduction equal to the original.

The turn signal ring is not supplied with the steering wheel as standard. If the old one is still usable, you can transfer it, a better option is to order this ring directly, then you can be sure that the set will work properly. This ring has been in use for a limited number of years, so your old steering wheel may not have this ring.

The horn ring is included, but you may prefer a closed version (which was originally an accessory for the VW Type 3 ). Click on the part number for more information and a photo.
