Steering wheel repair

Recommended Posts

Has anyone repaired or know of someone that repairs steering wheels. I have one that someone heated the center to try and get it off and melted part of the plastic. It's a nice wheel except for that.

Depending on the extent of the damage you probably could build it up with some two part epoxy.               :wwp:

I’ve repaired cracks and missing chunks on some of the older wheels. I’ve used JBWeld or PC7 epoxy. The PC7 epoxy is a little thicker and runs less. I spray black spray paint in the epoxy as I mix it.  You can use vinyl gloves wetted with water to shape the epoxy. I use a file to shape the epoxy, then finish with sand paper.
