claybill Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 restoring steering wheels is the easiest thing!! no matter how chewed up or missing sections...you can build it up so easily after "V" ing out all cracks and filling with PC-7 epoxy, packing in tight layers..file and sand smooth and prep to your talents..I used rustoluem rattle can and then after a WEEK of drying rustoleum clearcoat. mine arent 100% but they are 98% and only 20 bucks! claybill Quote
PatS.... Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Posted February 28, 2010 Mine had no plastic at all, anywhere. The rim and spokes were just wire. Nothing to patch and the chrome trim base had to be built from scratch to match the shape of the trim on the wheel in which the horn rim sat. Not an easy task I don't think. The guy who did mine sent it back looking like a factory Chrysler wheel. An excellent job starting from scratch. Before After Quote

Greenbomb Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks for the info- I'm just about to do mine and wasn't sure about what to use. was going to try Bondo. This sounds better. Quote
claybill Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 when patching and fixing...be smart..use gouges and undercuts, rough surfaces adhere better than smooth, do it in 1/4 in layers..PC-7 is magic stuff.! it adheres to rubber! steering wheels are cast from a rubber compound, not plastic. PC-7 is structural when cured, bondo is only a filler...not structural.! good luck....easy to fix any mistake. possible to repair missing chunks too. bill Quote
