Re: **STEERING WHEELS **
How about a Jetta wheel? This one fit great with a little mod.

Re: **STEERING WHEELS **
Thanks mike ....
I can see what's needed now ... Looks like a quick run to the scrap yard first. If not show the photo to the local vw commerical dealer and hope they can find it ...if not they shouldn't be sporting the VW badge
Feel abit happier now that i haven't wasted my money on a more comfortable steering wheel

Re: **STEERING WHEELS **
If your doing the scrappy route then................................
You wiull need a small 2 leg puller and a pair of vice grips as well, remove wheel, I think remove switch gear (3x slot head) then whilst holding the spring you will find arounnd this adapter down out the way, clamp the grips just under the ridge at the bottom of the splines then fit puller, you might be able to smack it off but as I had the puller I used that,
when fitting to your van dont hammer it on just tap it and then wind on with the coloumb nut.
