Another thread on repairing steering wheels.
I have done the searches on the forum, watched the U-tube videos and all the rest, but have not seen anything like the steering wheel in my 1946 Champion.
The vehicle was in a farmers field for far too many years, and though much of the body was spared, the sun and weather did the strangest thing to the steering wheel. The plastic (whatever it was back in 1946) has basically turned to crystals. The wheel not only has the normal cracks one would see in an old steering wheel, but if you grabbed hold it will fall off in very small chunks. Anyone seen this before?
I have looked at the suggested remanufacturing sites, but have had no luck with finding anyone doing a 1946 champion steering wheel. Any suggestions?
Thanks
