for anyone interested.. i have a leather wrapped A-1 vw GTI steering wheel
that has been adapted to fit the vanagon.  it looks just like the one in Yoshi's

but unlike Yoshi's, this steering wheel ALREADY has the mod so it bolts right
onto the vanagon column..  just unbolt your vanagon steering wheel, and bolt
this on.  simple.   no column removal necessary.  bolts on in a minit..  fits
nice and the turn signals cancel correctly. leather and stitching in nice
shape.   $85, with the mod to the housing already done so it fits the vanagon.
