[Healeys] Steering wheel restoration

Michael -

You may also with to consider steering wheel restoration services.  It's not cheap but the results are pretty awesome.  I've used Pearlcraft in Australia, they did a great job on my A90 steering wheel which had a coffee swirl color on the rim.  Of course basic black should be cheaper, something to consider.  I think someone in the US also does this type of work.

Best,

Alan

Many thanks to all who took the time to respond to my request for
recommendations.
I have received many excellent suggestions and am sure I can do a great job
on this new.
