EMPI Billet Aluminum Steering Box Cover | VW Beetle, Ghia & Type 3 | CNC-Machined (16-7508-0)

EMPI Billet Aluminum Steering Box Cover — CNC-Machined for VW Beetle, Ghia & Type 3

Clean up your front-end assembly with this Billet Aluminum Steering Box Cover. Standard steering box housings are often rough, industrial-looking castings that are difficult to clean and even harder to plate or paint. This CNC-machined cover provides a high-end, polished look without the expense and downtime of custom chroming.

Designed for a "nothing to hide" chassis, this cover slips over the factory-style housing to instantly transform the look of your steering assembly. It's the perfect finishing touch for show-quality builds, narrowed beam installs, or anyone adding detail to their front-suspension metalwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which steering boxes does this cover fit? Steering box part numbers 113-415-061C (German OEM) and 113-415-061CBR (EMPI). Standard worm-and-roller boxes used on VW Type 1 (Beetle/Ghia) and Type 3.
• Do I have to disassemble my steering box to install the cover? No. The cover is designed to slip over the existing factory housing. Most installers can have it on in a few minutes without removing the steering box.
• Is this a structural part? No, it's a cosmetic billet cover. It does not change steering geometry - it sits over the existing housing for a polished show-car appearance.
• Will it fit my Super Beetle? No. Super Beetles (1971-1979) use a rack-and-pinion steering system, not a worm-and-roller box.
