I need the outer shaft part for my 58

There's one in classifieds,
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2059421
Also they were Canadian Custom and Euro Standard columns up until '66, so maybe check German, Belgian, Dutch, Brit e-bays.
And try Facebook scene for folks who go to those Euro car shows and see parts.
Does your '58 wheel have 24 or 48 splines?

Ok so it turns out after all that I have ended up with 2 different length outer columns
I have the 3 wire indicator switch like the oval ? And different to a mates in his 64
Not having either car local to check what would fit which one is correct? One measures 720mm and has a flared end
The other is 620mm with no flare
I'm guessing it's the larger one I need for my 58? |

You want the longer one with the brush holder. The other one looks to be a '60-'67 style.
