The steering wheel on my TR4 seemed to be a grey, fibrous material. I  
took care to not breathe it in.

You can buy a kit from Eastwood: http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=2569&itemType=PRODUCT

Or you can put a kit together yourself.

PC7 is the filler in the Eastwood kit. It is available from any decent  
hardware store, HD, and Lowes. It sets to a similar density to the  
original wheel casting.

For the cracks, a used a dremel to cut out grooves from this ||, to  
wider fissures shaped /__\ as much as possible, much wider than the  
original cracks.

Give yourself the time to sand the PC7 back to the original contours.  
This is the time-consuming part, if you take care.

The pick up a primer and top coat of your choice. I went with an  
plastic adhesive promoter first in case the sanded original surface  
had any plastic-like tendencies, then a sandable primer (x2), then top  
coat (x 4 coats).
