That's the late, mid-'72 thru '73 version. I'll have to look to see
if I have one, but you might find one on the Samba.
I think the thing that kills our steering wheels is extreme cold. The
plastic shrinks more than the steel skeleton inside and eventually
the plastic cracks to accommodate the stress. I've noticed that the
cracks in mine get much smaller in warm weather. The wheel on the car
that's in an attached garage is still intact. All my others are
cracked.
I suspect those of you in warm climates don't have this problem.
