Steering wheel repair

[Ed Hackenbruch]

Starting a new thread so as not to hijack  JC's engine advice thread.   Anybody repaired one? i am talking about the old plastic or hard rubber ones that came on buses from the 50's and 60's.  JC if you go to the Eastman Company and search for steering wheel repair, they have kits to repair steering wheels. Not expensive and supposed to do a good job.  Of course that is assuming you have that type of wheel to begin with.......which you do, but i don't yet.  Anybody out there have one that they want to trade for a newer style MCI  18" leather wrapped wheel?  I want a 22" white plastic wheel with the Challenger center cap, in the best shape possible of course.

I am also on a British car forum and have heard good reviews about the repair kits. They were done on black cracked wheels. It won't fill on huge chunks though. If it needs rebuilding, there are folks who will do it if you do a Google search you find them. That isn't real cheap though. To restore the black color on a faded wheel I have used shoe polish before. You just have to keep it up to keep to color nice.
