[Healeys] Steering wheel restoration

Its the first one on the page:

PC-7® is the tough job epoxy! This paste epoxy was formulated for maximum 
bonding power. When mixed, components A (grey) and B (black) reacts to form 
a bond of tremendous strength. PC-7® formulation provides extended working 
time, for large and critical jobs, which allow the user to reposition work 
or make changes. High “wet grab” or tack of PC-7® Paste Epoxy makes 
overhead and sidewall work easy without drip or sag. PC-7® demonstrates 
excellent chemical resistance to mild acids, caustics, detergents, 
gasoline, fuel oil, salt, and fresh water.
***Note: PC-7® will not bond to wax paper, Teflon®, Polyethylene, and some 
other plastics. There are hundreds of plastics in thousands of combination. 
Test a small area when in doubt.

In looking at the PC-7 
site.http://www.pcepoxy.com/our-products/paste-epoxies/pc-7.php
I see that there is a product called PCclear.
Is that what you are recommending?

Try PC-7 epoxy. Its the only epoxy which works as it stays flexible and 
bonds to the original material.

I used it for two BN1 steering wheels and it keeps without cracks.

This was a hint of a friend which is a professional steering wheel 
restorer. He also provided me with the right two pack, two pack 
transparent, paint which after nearly ten years still looks fantastic.

Really interesting to see that Matthew encountered the same problem that I 
did when I tried to restore a BN1 wheel using J B Weld.

I don't think there is any way to ensure that epoxy will bond thoroughly to 
the original plastic..

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
