Steering wheel cover

[Nomad50]

I am looking for a steering wheel cover for a 1947 Desoto. My wheel is cracked pretty bad but still solid. I ordered one 

but it's too wide to fit on tightly. Does anyone know of a source for one that would fit? Thanks.

How about repairing and repainting your wheel? Even if you did a quickie repair and rattle can paint job. Might be a bit nicer and more rewarding than a cover.

I installed a leather cover from Wheelskins on my TR6 and am very pleased with the fit and quality. Their website has instructions for how to custom order a cover that will fit our narrow wheels. I had to custom order the cover for the TR6 and it fit perfectly. Highly recommended.

As mentioned in the post before this one your wheel can be repaired. Here is the wheel in my P15 after I restored it with JB Weld and Rustoleum Pro paint:

Try a truck stop. I bought one at a local truck stop that fit my D24 very well.

O'Reilly Auto Parts has a 17'' corer. You can view the cover on their web sight. I like the look and feel of the cover even if steering wheel is in good shape.
