Re: Steering wheel restoration
I used PC-7 and I am very happy with the results. I had never tried to restore a steering wheel before. The best advice I can give you is to be patient. I had to build up the PC-7 in a few layers to get it looking perfect. Sand a little at a time.

Re: Steering wheel restoration
It was a little tricky for me to get everything smooth because the PC7 was a lot harder than the old wheel material. It turned out good though.

Re: Steering wheel restoration
I found that the cold weather up here makes the wheel shrink and crack after its been repaired. Not so much of a problem if you keep the vehicle in a heated garage.

Re: Steering wheel restoration
Here's a picture of a 40 banjo wheel I made years ago. I wrote a detailed post
a few minutes ago and lost it and don't feel like doing it again. I cut the size of the outside diameter down, mounted the center of a 40 wheel and a chevy adaptor. All was done with PC-7, several coats of 2 part primer and a number of color coats. Final sanding was 2,000 wet and hand compounded. G.M.
