I have a steering wheel in my 85 380SL that is out of a 126, it's a little smaller in diameter. However, it obscures the top of the instruments. Not a big deal, because once you are familiar with the car you know where the needles should be pointing to.

I'd look for a (cheaper) old vinyl/rubber covered wheel out of an earlier SL and remove the skin, and take it from there. It may be welded formed rod. I don't know if it will bend well.
