Steering Wheel Repair



Hello all, thourght I would put in a word on the Steering Wheel situation, I will at some stage be seriously looking at doing complete one piece remoulds of Mopar Wheels, but I just have so much on my plate I do not know when I will get the time to do it. However I am thinking I may offer a Quality Repair Service if there is the demand for it?? Price would depend very much on the extent of the repair required, but at a rough gess I would say around the $250-$350us for a wheel with a number of bad cracks and or chunks missing etc. Of course this would mean posting to me in Australia and you would have the cost of return post as well, but it may be worth your trouble for a quality repair? please feel free email me if you want to discuss it further, I am always open to new ideas, regards George.

Thanks for the information.  I am not looking for the inexpensive solution here.  I want it done right...but now you have my curiosity up.  What kind of expense are we talking about?

I "chased around" a lot looking for a solution to the steering wheel problem on my '59 LeBaron.
It appeared impossible to find a replacement or an individual/small company/anyone who could repair steering wheels.
Eventually I found D & D Automobilia who built me a new one. The job was excellent (a few other IML'ers have had one built by him and share that opinion).
It is not an inexpensive solution.

Hello all:
 
I understand that there is a company in Florida somewhere who does complete refurbishment of steering wheels to make them just like new.  Anyone out there tried this or aware of who does it?  The old man that I talked to who had it done couldn't remember the name of the company that he sent his to, just said that he found them in Hemmings.  I could not find an ad for this company, however, probably cause this old man had his done better than ten years ago. 
 
Can anyone help me out here?
 
Thanks.

If the cracks are VERY minor, they can often be polished out.
