- Porsche 356A 1955-59
The OE MATCH Fastening Nut for Steering Wheel is an original-style replacement component designed for Porsche 356 Pre-A and 356A models manufactured between 1950 and 1959.

Diagram Ref No 4
This essential steering assembly fastener is responsible for securing the steering wheel to the steering column shaft, helping maintain a firm and reliable connection between the driver's steering input and the vehicle's steering mechanism.
Although small in size, the steering wheel fastening nut performs a critical safety function. The steering wheel must remain securely attached to its shaft to maintain dependable steering control.
The Porsche 356 steering system uses a mechanical connection between the steering wheel hub and the steering shaft. The fastening nut holds this assembly together, preventing unwanted axial movement of the steering wheel.
On classic Porsche vehicles, original steering wheel fasteners may have experienced decades of use, repeated removal during restoration work, corrosion or damage from incorrect tools.
Over time, the nut's threads or hexagonal driving surfaces may become worn, rounded or damaged.
An incorrectly fitted or deteriorated fastening nut may no longer provide the necessary clamping force to hold the steering wheel securely.
This can result in unwanted steering wheel movement or, in severe cases, compromise the security of the steering wheel mounting.
The OE MATCH replacement nut, corresponding to original Porsche reference 35647201, provides a practical solution when the existing fastener is damaged, missing or unsuitable for reuse.
It is particularly useful during steering wheel removal, steering column repairs, interior refurbishment and classic Porsche restoration projects.
The component is designed for the original-style steering wheel mounting arrangement found on compatible Porsche 356 Pre-A and 356A vehicles.
Its hexagonal form allows the nut to be tightened using the appropriate tool and Porsche workshop procedure.
Unlike decorative steering wheel trim, this component is a safety-critical mechanical fastener and must be installed correctly.
What This Product Does:
The steering wheel fastening nut secures the steering wheel hub to the threaded end of the steering shaft.
Its primary functions include:
- Secures the Steering Wheel: Holds the steering wheel firmly in its intended position on the steering column shaft.
- Maintains Steering Wheel Retention: Prevents unwanted movement of the wheel along the shaft.
- Provides Mechanical Clamping Force: Keeps the steering wheel hub correctly seated against its mounting arrangement.
- Supports Reliable Steering Operation: Helps maintain a secure connection between the steering wheel and steering mechanism.
- Prevents Excessive Steering Wheel Movement: Restricts looseness caused by an inadequately secured hub.
- Maintains Original-Style Assembly: Preserves the correct fastening arrangement of the classic Porsche 356.
- Supports Steering System Maintenance: Provides a replacement when the original nut is damaged during removal.
- Suitable for Restoration: Helps complete the reassembly of an original or properly compatible replacement steering wheel.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Steering wheel fastening nuts are generally durable components and do not require routine replacement at fixed service intervals.
However, damage, corrosion or previous incorrect installation may make replacement necessary.
Possible symptoms:
- Steering wheel movement towards or away from the dashboard.
- A clicking or knocking sensation at the steering wheel centre.
- Movement between the wheel hub and steering shaft.
- A steering wheel that does not feel securely mounted.

This Horn Ring Seal is a high-quality OE Match component engineered specifically for early Porsche 356 and 356A vehicles. Positioned within the horn ring assembly, this seal acts as a protective and insulating barrier between the horn ring and surrounding steering wheel components.
Fits:
Porsche 356 1950 - 1955
Porsche 356A 1955 - 1959
The horn ring seal provides cushioning and sealing within the horn ring assembly. It helps isolate components, ensuring consistent electrical contact when the horn is pressed while preventing debris, moisture, and vibration from interfering with operation.
Function
• Acts as a protective barrier between horn ring and steering wheel components
• Maintains correct spacing and alignment within the horn mechanism
• Supports reliable horn activation by stabilising contact surfaces
• Helps reduce wear, vibration, and contamination in the assembly
Over time, rubber seals degrade due to age, heat, and exposure, especially in classic vehicles. A worn or hardened horn ring seal can lead to poor horn function, misalignment, or unwanted noise within the steering wheel assembly. Replacing this ring seal restores proper operation and prevents further wear to more expensive steering and horn components.
When to replace:
• Horn operation becomes intermittent or unresponsive
• Visible cracking, flattening, or hardening of the seal
• During steering wheel or horn ring restoration
• When dismantling the horn assembly for maintenance
• Presence of rattling or looseness in the horn ring

OEMatch Steering Wheels Parts components are compatible replacements engineered to original-spec dimensions and tolerances — a practical option when genuine or OEM parts are unavailable. They cover steering hubs, horn switches, contact rings, airbag connectors, multifunction controls and trim used on Porsche models and for restorations and repairs.
Available Types- Steering hubs and boss adapters
- Horn contact rings and switches
- Airbag connectors and mounting hardware
- Multifunction switch assemblies and wiring
- Trim bezels and decorative inserts
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original steering wheels parts.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the steering wheels parts and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM steering wheels parts engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Steering wheel components provide the mechanical and electrical link between driver and vehicle. Hubs and boss fittings secure the wheel to the column, contact rings and switches maintain horn and airbag function, and trim and fastenings preserve fit and appearance. OEMatch focuses on parts selected for Porsche applications and on items that support safe, reliable steering operation across classic and modern models.
Benefits Include- Restores precise steering interface and wheel alignment
- Maintains horn, airbag and multifunction electrical functions
- Improves cabin finish and driver comfort
- Mechanical wear to hub splines, bushings or bosses from repeated loading
- Electrical faults from degraded wiring, worn contacts or damaged switch assemblies
- Corrosion, heat or UV damage to connectors, trim and plastic components
Replacing worn steering wheel components preserves safety systems and tactile control. Faulty contact rings or poor connections can affect horn and airbag operation; worn hubs can introduce play or noise that degrades steering feel. Using properly specified parts reduces the need for rework during restoration and helps retain the intended Porsche driving characteristics.
Advantages- Direct-fit replacements made to original-spec dimensions where applicable
- Wide coverage for classic and modern Porsche models
- Parts selected to match function and mounting points for straightforward installation
These items affect safety-critical systems. Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician following model-specific procedures and torque settings. Use calibrated tools and new fasteners where specified and recheck fasteners after initial mileage. If the vehicle includes hidden sensors or you are unsure, seek professional help.
