  View original topic: Installing Quick Release Steering Wheel on '72 Beetle

Hello,
I am fairly new to the bug world, I have only had my bug about 6 months now. I am slowly trying to work on it and customize it a little bit.

I was wondering if I can install a quick release steering wheel on the stock steering column?

Thanks!

The quick release won't be a VW item so surely it depends on whether the people who make the quick release wheel have the correct adaptor.

Here is the one I was looking at, made by Empi...

That empi unit is a weld-on part for a plain steering shaft. It won't directly fit your stock column. Not sure how much modification would be necessary to make it work.
