hi..im asking $100 for the leather wrapped steering wheel because i spend my
time modifying the steering wheel itself to fit the vanagon and provide you
with mounting hardware.

the leather is good, all stitching is there, and i redye the leather black if
need be so the leather looks brand new.  since the steering wheels are from
mk1/mk2 golfs or jettas, the OD is slightly smaller.  not much,  maybe an inch
at the most.   this does not pose a problem with handling or steering, but if
you are extremely tall, it may obscure the tops of the gauges depending on
where your seat is positioned.   i am 6ft tall, and with the golf/jetta steering
wheel installed in my van, it doesnt bother me, but everyone is different.

if you think 100 is too much for a OEM leather wrapped steering wheel that
has already been modified so you can simply bolt it onto your vanagon, then i
suggest you dont even consider the VWSA leather wrapped steering wheel which
some vendors are selling for $400 or a custom Nardi or MOMO steering wheel with
an adapter which are $400+.
