^ 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.

.I think you are getting some bogus information. The splines didn't change until 74. A 72 wheel will fit on your 68 just fine, a 68 wheel will fit on a 72, but it will hit the column mounted wiper switch.



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
