Not sure if this is a "B" wheel, but I think the car is a '69? Title: Re: 356b steering wheel in a VW Post by: 46-00-gl on October 24, 2010, 00:22:27 am Are there also any adapters available for a vw bus? t2a '71... ;)

BUT.. the back of the 356 B or C steering wheel and the turn signal switch on a 66 T1 for example are different size. The other problem is when you adjust the mast jacket and turn signal switch close enough to the backside of the steering wheel so that it looks decent, the t-sig switch arm itself will interfere with the steering wheel spokes. 56-59 Porsche "A" wheel will directly bolt on a 56-59 T1 (if you can afford one) 60-65 Porsche B, C, even 912 / early 911 wheel will fit 60-72 T1 with some t-sig arm mods. Hope this helps. Title: Re: 356b steering wheel in a VW Post by: wolfswest on October 24, 2010, 09:20:06 am Hi Dave,
yes, thank you for the information. I just don't have a clue how you could modify the t-switch handle? Use one from another car or...? @ javabug, yes that's the steering wheel I'm talking about!

I'm sure he can give some info.
