Hi All, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good place to get my steering wheel restored. I just got off the phone with Pearlcraft in Bega and they're base rate is at $550 just for the steering wheel its self. Re-croming the ring is extra and they cant repair the button. Anyone got any suggestions or possibly a wheel in very good cond. I'm not interested in fixing it myself with bog and paint. Thanks

Does anyone have any tips on how to repair wheels yourself?
Is there any type of resin that can be used for the cracks?

You will have to open up the cracks with a dremmel and drill some holes so it locks in the gaps, Trev

That's awesome thanks John.
I'll give it a go and see how it turns out, he was doing a resto on an EH wheel which is the one I have. I thought I would have to get it re-splined to fit the commodore column I'm running but tried it on today and it fits staright on BONUS.
