Thanks again Sammie. That's what I was thinking but wanted to verify it. I'll
call them today. They are rushing it to try and make my March 27 deadline!

James: I just looked up what David Eccles has in his VW Transporter and
Microbbus and he says ivory. According to Eccles the column, brake lever and
shifter for 58-61 deluxe are stone beige (silver beige after 61) and the
steering wheels were ivory. Eccles is probably the most reliable source for
most of the bus stuff but he doesn't have it all and does have some information
which I know to be in error. Other than a search on the samba I don't know a
more reliable source to look.
Eccles also says that the control knobs for wiper, lights, heater etc were
ivory for your year model, i.e., the control knobs and the steering wheel would
match.

If they aren't supposed to match the steering column then it would be Ivory
because the column is Stone Beige so that would make sense.

James: Before you make a decision let's do some research. Of course if that's
all the colors that Koch can do, then you don't have much choice. It's
definitely not black on a deluxe. I want to guess Ivory because the later
split wheels are silver. But let's see if we can come up with a correct answer.

Just got a call from Koch's and they want to know what color to make the
steering wheel. I figured there was only one color for a 59 Deluxe per the
Samba paint code matrix.
Theresa said it was one of 3 colors. Black, Ivory or silver. She said the
steering wheel should match the column and thge knobs but the Samba says the
steering column is L471 Stone Beige (which is what it is now) and the knobs are
all supposed to be 001 Ivory!
So does anyone know if the wheel is supposed to match the column or the knobs???
Thanks!
James
