Says it's "Hella" Does it really fit? Work well?

May work for later cars, won't work for early cars. What year's yours?

The Cap'n

Don't know if it's the same part # as mine, but it fits and works in a late model.

Try Autohausaz.com. Look up the VW Beetle and the year. Same Hella lock $18.88. Why overpay??

Good responses, thanks. Mine's a '73. so I guess that is late?
I have the problem where turning the key in the ignition doesn't turn the electric switch far enough to connect the starter circuit.
This might be a nice fix.

Is there a good source for a 1970 car?

If those are the symptoms, that key and tumbler isn't gonna fix it. You need a new ignition switch.

I have a new one installed. I noticed the prong that engages the electric portion is twisted a little bit backward. Therefore it wont turn the electric switch far enough to make contact.
I have a feeling that others out there have the same issue but are looking at the wrong part. Not all, but some.

By late model, I mean 75/76.
