john46,

I have no first hand knowledge, but I have stuck in a link to Eastwood. They have kits with complete instruction. I have seen folks talk about it on this site, so someone will probably show up soon with hands on info!

Check ebay freequently. NOS steering wheels do pop up from time to time. You may be able to get one for less than $100. You might also try getting a spare steering wheel and refinishing it at you leasure. Restoring a steering wheel looks like a big PITA. You have to take the time to do it right or else it won't last or look to good.

I would also check with the military surplus suppliers. I am willing to wager that the CCKWs used the same steering wheel. With 800,000 CCKWs produced in the war, there is bound to be a few floating around.

John46, I restored the steering wheel on my 46. I used the kit from Eastwoods. It isn't that hard. It does take some time, but well worth it.
