68-75 inner Steering column and Steering wheel size

[Guest]

I've purchased a new steering wheel but its the later type (i think) as its too small to fit over the existing collar and spleens.

I'm thinking it would be cheaper to fit a post 75 inner column to fit the new wheel onto than get another earlier wheel?

I was wonder what differences there are between the 'INNER' columns? Are the lenghts different? the spleen collar is definitely smaller?

Bently doesnt say too much about it only the outer column differences.

Just had to fit one in mine after stripping splines in the beetle steering wheel,painted it when i painted beetle one then realised it was a late one.Steering column has just had steering lock metal grond off,otherwise straight fit.
