Re: IML: Steering Wheel Repair



Jeff there is one thing I forgot to mention. If you see small cracks on the outer edge of the wheel you should deal with these before they become large cracks. Iam talking about the very small ones on the outer edge. I use a heat gun but yu can use a torch. Heat the edges until it looks like melted wax then using a cloth pull the plastic around the wheel. This forces the cracks to smooth over and fill in. preventing future spreading. If you make a mistake sand smooth and fill in with PC-7. It takes time, but works.

Does anyone have any suggestions for something to use to fill the cracks that inevitably form in our older plastic wheels? I have a spare for my '56 that we are attempting to use for a theater set but it has numerous cracks in the hub that aren't appropriate for a "new" car.

Thanks,
