  Moon Eyes ask for the VW guy. Very knowageable and helpfull. Remember Moon
  Eyes is a very large company and we must all thank them for picking up the
  Flat Four line, otherwise you would NOT be able to get stuff.

  ps. I do have a Flat Four Banjo wheel, adapter and Lady horn button on my
  wifes rag top bug and love it.
  
 In the immortal words of Jim Adney, all that "Billet" means is that a larger 
 piece of metal was machined down into a smaller one. The adapter part I was 
 looking for was I-236, which is about the size of the nut that holds the 
 steering wheel on.  The steering wheel is $189 + 85 for the adapter + 69.50 
 for the golden lady horn button + $5 royalty charge.  The steering wheel 
 therefore costs $348.50. not $189.
 
 Flat-4 is also a very large company. They used to have West Coast Classic 
 Restorations as their distributor. Someone had to pick up the Flat-4 line of 
 products, when West Coast Classics backed out. I can see why they backed 
out, 
 now. How
 would you like to handle products that double in cost as you analyze them. 
It 
 stinks.
