I have a steering wheel for my '55 Alpine that is cracked and the cracks
have expanded. Like many other cars, the steering wheel has a metal ring
running around the inside and it's covered by this plastic/bakelite type
stuff. I know there are services that will restore steering wheels for
something over $300. Has anyone tackled this themselves? I was thinking
something along the lines of spraying in the cracks with a Rustoleum type
paint and then filling the cracks with bondo and sanding to regain the
shape. But, I am also worried that the rust inside will continue to
expand, causing the cracks to reappear and further separations. Anyone
have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jay
