Steering Wheel
There is a large gap between the wheel and the turn indicator. The tube is as far as it will go and the wheel is socked down. Any ideas or suggestions?

lights and wipers
Is the light switch on the left and the wiper switch on the right? That's what happens when you don't take picture of the dash before tear down.

What color is the seat frame for red upholstery? My bug originally had brown upholstery but I am going with red in the rebuild.
