Re: Steering wheel repair

Mine also has a few minor cracks but no separation gaps. Where can I get, and what is the best epoxy for this repair? And was just asking on the leather wrap, I might go Old school and get one of those vinyl covers.

PC -7 Epoxy works well. Eastwood has a steering wheel restoration kit.

Re: Steering wheel repair

I did mine last year and still looks like this. Very tedious work but in the long run I think it was worth it.

Re: Steering wheel repair

Mine started out with a lot more cracks then what you have. You have a very good candidate to restore.
