I'd like to find an OEM Bus steering wheel in decent shape. Perhaps you have upgraded and have one to spare? I'm fine with the hugeness of it; but mine (on my E3) has major cracks and may not last me forever. Let me know if you have one available, please.
 
If you can't find a perfect one, they are relatively easy to restore if they aren't too far gone. Open up the cracks with a hacksaw blade, fill with fiberglass reinforced body filler followed by some glazing filler where needed. Repaint with 2k semi flat black.

I think the bus wheel is an important part of the feeling of an E3. To me, a modern, smaller diameter, thicker wheel is not an improvement. The stock steering wheel makes me smile (in a good way) when I sit down in the driver's seat.

I’ve got a Euro e9 wheel availble.

FS: Stock Euro CS steering wheel Lower price

Decided to part with this CSI steering wheel. Very good condition. Leather is excellent. Recovered in the past. Purchased from HBChris a couple of years ago. $450 shipped in the US.

And there may also be a difference in the color of the 3 horn butttons; I have black and silver buttons. Not sure which belongs on which car model/steering wheel model/ model year.

They may even be off a wood wheel, as I've had 6 of them over the past 10 years
