Help identify 58 59 steering wheel with narrow splines

[58rog59]

I have a steering wheel 1134 156 51 A

which is kinda tan in color and it has smaller splines than other wheels. It may be European.

Thanks,

It looks like the same one I have in my '59

That's a 48 tooth spline hub. VW changed from the 24 tooth to the 48 tooth during the '56 model run. This was to facilitate a finer adjustment when mounting the wheel to the steering shaft so it would sit straight.

Yes, I just counted and there are 48 splines. So will this fit all 1956 to 1959 VW beetles?

Thanks,
You have solved my questions. I appreciate it. Now maybe someone will buy the wheel on Samba.
