Well this is Empi and their products can be a piece of junk. This one seems better than the usual junk. This is a good product. How well it holds up remains to be seen.
Like the original, well fitted, improved steering over the cracked original. Hope it lasts long. After reading several disaster stories with red polyurethane writing, I settled on this one. The stock lasted 45 years. I hope it will too.
Here are some pictures comparing the more common plastic connectors, at least for reference for size and thickness. all old VWs (fits my 71 Karmman Ghia). I prefer flexible rubbers to hard ones. Would buy again just in case.
