Dont know how bad your steering wheel is but they can be patched.... A couple articles in mags over last couplea years. I have not tried it but may with my (new) 41... I did get a NORS wheel several years ago for my 56 and it was wrong color- grey neded to be ivory Simply sprayed it with the same buff color epoxy enamel from a spray can that I used on the dash that matched original perfectly. Note the original was also painted. Obviously cant do if U have a big buck transluscent metallic wheel. Maybe worth a try, price is right? Lars |
