What size steering wheel do you currently have? I went from 420mm to 400mm (both proper VDM steering wheels for Porsche.) I like the 400 mm much better. My '56 bug had a Petri banjo style that the seller kept and reinstalled the original VW wheel. Petri fits both VW and Porsche of that vintage. But I am not up on the diameter sizes of Petri steering wheels, if they are available in less than 400mm. But the shafts should fit.
