Post by **retropeck** » 03 Jun 2008, 11:16

hi there,

new to the forum.

does anyone know the overall & thread size of the nut that holds the steering wheel on? its off a 1982 t25 if they differ at all, I know its the same size as the one on my 1976 type2 as ive been having to switch between the 2 after i managed to loose one (muppet!)

cheers,
alex.

30mm according to the wiki http://wiki.80-90.co.uk/index.php/Gener ... nd_torques

I have a vague memory of using a 28mm though.
, you can use a large adjustable spanner vertical with moll grips on the shaft to get some torque on it if you haven't the socket.

24mm sounds right but would anyone know the thread size and perhaps who would sell it.... hmm perhaps its gonna be a case of heading down b&q and checking a few different sizes...
