Ok... did some searching first... here... and on the CO site... and on Google.
I remember reading a post about a steering wheel restoration service where the vendor has the steering wheel moulds... which allow him to repair even the most weathered steering wheels.
Anybody have any clue? My original wheel, which I removed about 25 years ago, shows the signs of it's first 20 years in the Texas sun (toast would be a descriptive word). Back then I only had the money to put on a Grant rubberized grip wheel. I still have the original wheel, and I'd like to get it restored and put it back on the car. My guess is that the normal crack repair approach I see listed online wouldn't last very long before the cracks begin to reappear.
I'm not even sure what the guy with the moulds does to the wheel, but the impression I had it didn't matter how bad off the original core is. Anyone heard of this, and know who this vendor is?
