Since becoming active again in the VW world and talking about my Butternut '63 one thing that I've continued to look for is another steering wheel like I had. Brand name as I recall was "Butler" and it was purchased through Auto Haus when I worked there. We only got about 15 of them in as I recall an I immediately knew it was the wheel for my car.
A wood rim fairly thick and three spokes done in a brushed finished and a slight dish. The horn button was smooth black in a mat finish and was fairly large in diameter. See the photo attached as this is similar to what I remember. The adapter was reasonably long putting the wheel at about the same position as a factory VW wheel of the day.
Since I sold the car back in 1974 I've never seen another. I've still not located photos of it, but I know they do exist. Anyway, if anyone has a lead on this I would be very appreciative of assistance.

Here is mine, a genuine EMPI GTV 15 inch, witch I got from my wife 13 years ago, when I gave her a ring as a wedding present :)
