    @Ian Bell you might want to hide those addresses in case someone plays scammer etc.

    No worries Ian, everyone on here has good intentions but there are those who look in who might take advantage.

    Hopefully winding down now, there was a 6 man white suited brigade going in followed by sniffer dog and metal detector crew outside...

    All 7 were picked up earlier this afternoon. One thing to note is that the splined split connector appears to have its locking screw orientated at 90 deg to the original setup. I think this means the steering wheel has to be removed and re-orientated.
    I'm contemplating just using the old piece until I figure out if I can actually get my steering wheel off again.

    Seems to be proper splines on the new piece also

    To be honest I'll be using the original clamp anyway. I saw your post regarding the lower cost clamp-less ones and considered ordering one of those. It wasnt clear that they were the same material as this type though so didn't want to complicate things

    Edit, there must be a reason VW orientated the split clamp the way they did so that's another potential aftermarket fail point I personally will try and avoid if possible:thumbsup:

    Yeah I’m afraid I only placed an order for folks asking for one… no spares
