The steering wheels are some type of plastic molded over a steel hoop. In the process of my Healeys’ restoration, I kept my original cracked steering wheel stored in a bag. When I removed it to assess how to restore it, the outer hoop literally disintegrated and turned to dust in my hands. My opinion is a cracked steering wheel, even if repaired, is dangerous because the interior steel hoop can continue to corrode and fall apart at any time.

While we are on the subject of repairing the Trafficator and Bakelite, for forty years my steering wheel has been wrapped in a leather cover which hides the cracked and missing pieces of the plastic looking material where the round wheel meats the spokes.  I seem to remember there is a process to repair and/or fill in the voids.  Does anyone on this list have a suggestion?
