I wouldn't recommend grinding that old red bakelite without a mask.
Thanks' for pointing out the risks. I agree with the mask.

Default Re: Restoring steering wheel from broken pieces.

Attached are a few pictures showing my second wheel in the early stages of die grinding. None show the completed grinding job so just imagine less resin and more steel frame. I will ask my car guy if he could send some pictures of my wheel in it's finished state

The one picture shows the SMC logo and would like to know the manufacturer. Supposedly a Canadian firm. Notice the crack on the right side. That crack was originally through the logo to the other side but I did a test repair as you can see. After the test I decided to remove all signs of cracks every where including under the logo, completely going over the wheel but unfortunately didn't take any more pictures.
