[Healeys] Restoring Bakelite

[dracmarine at aol.com]

There was a person at Pebble Beach Concours this year in the first tent that you enter to the show?who repaired Healey steering wheels among others.? I recall he said something like $900.? I have two of them, both cracked, so I went and bought a Tourist wood wheel from Moss. When I asked about repairing the wheel on my 66 SL Bagoda Benz, he said don't bother, get a new one from Mercedes, around $200.

First time I ever heard of a German car anything being cheaper than a Brit car...

The subject of restoring bakelite such as our steering hubs and knobs on 
some of our cars comes up from time to time, I got this from the MG section 
of the British Car Forum, haven't tried it, but a couple of guys said it 
works very well,  if you are trying to get your bakelite to look a little 
better may be worth a try.

Also if any listers have had experience with it good or bad feel free to 
weigh in on the subject.
