Steering shaft 66 Ghia on 66 bug ?

Herrbern

Hi,

Is a complete steering, column, shaft and box from a wrecked 66 Ghia compatible with a 66 bug? And if not, what parts can be fitted on the bug ?

Thanks,

Bernard

I think you have to flip the steering box bracket when going from ghia to bug.

The steering box is the same

Ok for the steering box. What with the shaft and column? The reason I am asking this is beacause of the Neiman on the Karmann T14... If it fits on the bug, I will buy these parts.

1966 Ghia & beetle steering column, tube & box are all the same. As VW Steve stated, the lower clamp/bracket for the steering box may need to be flipped around. There are two small crescent-shaped cut outs on the bracket/clamp. These need to be lined up with the nub on the front beam for alignment for proper angle of the steering column
