^^^ That doesn't help one bit with part numbers...

That wheel, number 415-651-64-71 looks more like a reproduction steering wheel for a Karmann Ghia. A typical '64 Bug/Ghia wheel would have the following part number: 311-415-651 A. Let me explain:

The ...415-651 leaves off a "311-" in the beginning- and an "A", "B" or "D" form the end of a complete part number- which takes the wheel through subtle changes from '64 to '71. Thus whoever reproduced this wheel used the generic 6 digits to cover the span of years 64-71 and the round KG logo on the left is from the repro company.

I’ll piggyback onto this forum! Can anyone tell me what vehicle this steering wheel fits? Is there a technical site listing all the part numbers? Thanks in advance.

These smaller diameter Steering Wheels were very common on smaller german cars from the 50´s & 60´s like Goggomobil or Lloyd Alexander.
The keyed hup is different to the ones on VW busses.

But maybe someone can put some work into it and transplant suitable parts from a beetle or bus. Smile

I'm not sure but is the size 13.77 inches?

Keyed 3-spoke wheels for VWs can be for a Barndoor Bus but that is too small.
A Barndoor wheel is 17.5 inches / 44.5cm

Hello vw's friend, I bought this steering wheel for my 58 standard Beetle, do you know which car this steering wheel is mounted ?
It's the same as the original, but it is 13.77 outer measuring.
It's keyed steering wheel.
