Mark:

There is a brass ring and wiper under the steering wheel.  As I remember,
list vendors can supply.  You need to pull the steering wheel to replace.
Make sure that you have a Bentley handy.

I paid $500 in 1997 for my plane jane 1984 7-passenger.  I have put over 10X
that amount into the van not including the exterior renovation and much of
the labor I have done myself.

Just look at the prices on new minivans and realize how much more fun it is
to drive your Vanagon.
