As has been noted, nobody has a correct 15" steering wheel for the Vanagon.
But I will have one at around Christmas time. This is a three-spoke, black
vinyl steering wheel with a mount specifically for the Vanagon.  Not sure of
the exact price yet but should be well under $100 with the mount.

If anyone is in a real hurry and seriously wants one sooner than that, email
me right away and I might be able to have a few within a few weeks.
Otherwise I'll post to the list when they're in.  Incidentally, I'll also
have mounts for using these on Busses.
