^ I agree... though the spline change could've already been for the '73 model year. My genuine VW Sports Bug steering wheel from a '73 Super Beetle fits directly onto the splines of my '77 Beetle, with full horn functionality.

That's encouraging. I'm going to a used parts place on Thursday and will hopefully find a wheel. I guess I'll know for sure when I decide to unbolt what's already there and attempt a change.

Good I hope you find a decent wheel, and I hope it fits with no complications. Bob
