Would this steering box (311.415.131B) have been used on 63 beetle? I thought my stash was only type 1s and the 311 makes me think type 3? Thanks for any help _________________ 67 zenith blue sunroof

There are lots of examples of Type 1 parts starting with 311.
I had a quick look at the OACDP section on steering and can see reference to a steering case with the number 311415129B and 311415135A so it’s not impossible that it is a T1 part.
The steering box assembly itself may have a 113 number but it is made up of separate parts e.g. bearings shaft and case. So the case is an individual part and it makes sense if a part is used on different models that it has the same part number. _________________ 1968 1500 RHD Lotus White Beetle since birth.

If your model is a ‘67 as per your signature line it looks as if the correct steering for your car is roller steering box part 113415061B (full assembly) which has the case number 113415105A. _________________ 1968 1500 RHD Lotus White Beetle since birth. In the hospital for major surgery

Thanks for the help. I just noticed that the 65-66 horn bar also carries a 311 prefix
