    Can Mk2 steering wheel be fitted into Mk1

    I don't like the Mk1 standard steering wheel, also don't like those aftermarket racer type. The Mk2 s/w is my favourite, can it be fitted into Mk1 without modification ?

    I know that an early Mk2 will fit. The later ones may fit but I am not sure.

    I have an early Mk2 GTI wheel for sale. (Four button type)

    Early Mk2 have the smaller diameter sterring wheel hole, whilst later ones have a bigger hole and will need a splined shim, such as is found in Mk3s and SEATs. All the later wheels will fit, but will need the shim.

    It'll probably come with the steering wheel.
