Default Rebuilding Steering Wheel

Hi Hugh, Have you considered rebuilding the wheel yourself and having the
black coating applied for under 100gbp's.
I rebuilt a friends wheel by first killing the rust on the metal
reinforcing rim then building up the outer with polyester, this I filed and sanded
to shape until it was smooth and to size.
I then sent it to Lancaster Vintage & Classic Spares 01524 423453 who do a
black coating for steering wheels, the result being that you could not
tell the difference.
This was done some fifteen years ago and the wheel still looks ok.
My regards,
Bellerophon
