So now it's 3 tiller pilots and the repaired Navik. Hmmmmm.


How do they attach to the tiller?


The tiller pilots have a small plastic (or similar) fitting at the end of
the pushrod that snaps onto a stainless pin mounted, facing up, on the
tiller.

... Do any of them attach to a wheel?


This was one way of doing it years ago. I cannot recall manufacturer names
all that well, but I believe "Tillerpilot" was one. The pushrod attached to
an arm mounted in line with the steering wheel radius.

Do you think any of them might be adaptable to my situation?


I am afraid I don't exactly really your situation.
