For custom-cut steering wheel covers, try www.boatleather.com.  1-800-468-9110.

As the name implies, they make leather covers for sail-boat steering wheels, some as big as 6' in diameter.
They can surely make exactly what you need.  It may not be cheap.

    I keep reading about how nice the Gene Berg short shift kit is for the
    vanagon. People say its the best $20-25 they've spent on their van.
    Question is, where can you buy the short shift kit for that kind of
    money. I called the Gene Berg shop directly and got a price of $73.06.

  I paid right around that for my shift kit with the extension. It is worth every penny even at $100.00.

  Other favorite mod is the wheelskin leather cover for steering wheel.
  My steering wheel is off a non-power steering vanagon (now I can see
  the guages) so its a little over 17.5 inches in diamter. So I bought
  the wheelskin size B. Its the only size they offer that fits a wheel
  that large. Trouble is that it doesn't wrap completely around the
  wheel and I have a 1/4 inch gap no matter how tight I string it. Maybe
  it will just take a little getting use to but the nice  leather feel
  is offset by the feel of the tight stitching across the gap. Has
  anyone else wrapped a non-power steering wheel with a wheelskin?

  I have the Wheelskin cover on my 1987 non-GL Camper w/o power steering. The wheel diameter is 18" not 17.5". I sent them the dimesions (diameter + grip circumference) and they sent me the correct Wheelskin, mine fits perfectly. I also advised them that their website selector was incorrect, they assume that all Vanagons had the smaller power steering wheel. The best $30.00 that I spent on my camper, period.
