EMPI Polished Billet Aluminum Steering Wheel Boss Kit (24-Tooth)

Upgrade your vintage Volkswagen with the elegance of a Banjo Style steering wheel. This premium EMPI Boss Kit is precision-machined from polished billet aluminum, providing a show-quality finish and a secure mounting point for your 3-bolt vintage-style wheel.1

 

The "Spline Mystery" Solved:

While 1957–1959 steering wheels internally featured 48-tooth hubs for finer adjustments, they still mounted onto the same 24-tooth coarse-splined steering shaft used in all Beetles from 1942 through 1959. This kit is engineered to fit that specific 24-tooth shaft perfectly.

Key Features:

  • Material: High-grade Polished Billet Aluminum.

  • Compatibility: Specifically designed for the "Banjo Style" 3-bolt steering wheels.2

     

  • Hardware Included: Comes with all necessary mounting hardware for a complete installation.

  • Fitment Focus: Designed for the early 24-tooth coarse splined steering shafts.
