I mean if it just has cracks in it? use some epoxy to fill the cracks and the sand smooth. prime and paint. I have yet to do mine but this is what I am planing on doing. I figure if I screw it up I will just go down to the local Chilli's restuarant and buy the chevy stering wheel that they have hanging on their wall.
Good luck

I do have a number for someone in California. Found this guy at the Pomona show:

I would do the wheel myself, (except) This is an old 1937 BANJO WHEEL which does not have the so called Eurathane or Plastic any longer. It has the nice Banjo Center, Other than that its the STEEL thats left! UGH! If anyone knows how to pour the eurethane and where to get a mold..??? Then Id sure give it a shot. All the best Ol Classic Finn | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 279 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 279 | In this case I would not try it myself.I am not sure if Kotch recasts steering wheels,he was not doing it the last time I saw him(10 years ago).This is the guy that has done some for me.He does excellent work. www.qualityrestorations.com

Basically, you find a standard hard rubber steering wheel, cut the rim off, weld the banjo center to the rim, then re-do the plastic over the welds with filler or epoxy. | | |
