Hi all , after an original EK steering wheel in ok condition, cracks around the wheel would be ok as it will be restored anyway but would like something that is crack free around the boss if possible .
Cheers col

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I've found one local that has been restored for $420 .. I have no idea what it cost to get them restored but I would think it wouldn't be cheap so it's probably a reasonable price ?

Not too bad, if you want one done at Pearlcraft or the like you are looking at twice that amount ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Original steering whell
Pretty simple to restore really, as long as it isn’t too bad. They will always crack again eventually. I just opened up the cracks a bit, used some fine finish filler, sanded and keyed the existing finish, Protec 458 primer surfacer aerosol, light rub and finish with a few coats of jet black 2k urethane. Two hours work total. Four years and 10,000 miles later there are hairline cracks where the spokes meet the rim.

The ome I have is ok but has a bit of damage around the boss that I'm not sure of. Should probably check with billet works and see how much they actually machine around the boss areaErrol62 wrote:Pretty simple to restore really, as long as it isn’t too bad.
