Great rebuild and an example for us that are starting down this path. What is the grounding wire for from the body to the shaft? Mine didn't have it, it's a 64 Type1.


It's an optical illusion, it doesn't actually connect to the steering coupler. The other end attaches to the framehorn on the pan, as a ground for the horn circuit.

Thank you for checking on it. From my perspective, the most interesting items are the plastic plugs and the paper gasket.


Same here! I'm just getting started on my collection of steering boxes, and could really use a source for plugs & gasket.

Thanks in advance!

Already working my way through that monster thread (19 pages!!), and *just* stumbled across the part number for the plastic plugs.

Thank you!!

Next question- what was the source of the Steering Box exploded diagram? That lovely drawing helped me a LOT with my disassembly.

Thanks in advance!

Parts manual is here:

Also, Wolfsburg West did a run of top cover gaskets. They are almost gone at this point.
