[Healeys] restore original equipment steering wheel

[Earl Kagna]

John:

Check out these people.  They're in Washington State - he did a Healey wheel 
for me many, many years ago - before decent repos became available.  I 
suspect that a Healey wheel will be too expensive to restore compared to 
simply purchasing a repro - I understand that the current repro's are 
excellent, but if any lister has had recent experience with them, we'd all 
like to know about it.

There are also many aftermarket accessory wheels available from various 
sources - many of us use them.  These wheels were available when the cars 
were sold new, so they're 'sort of legitimate'.  I have a Moto Lita leather 
wrapped wheel on my BJ8 that I installed approx. 25 years ago - and like it 
so much from the driving comfort point of view that I re-installed it last 
year after a full ground-up restoration - ageing hands, you know.  Doesn't 
look all that bad either.

Is there anyone that is restoring BJ8 original steering wheels??  Since
repros are available at a reasonable price this may not be feasible.

Thanks,

John
