Recently I was doing investigate on the Mga cars of the 50's, when I came upon a blog that had a ask on how to heal a cracked traditional Mga steering wheel. There were any perfect descriptions on how to do a unblemished repair.
Most suggestions followed along the lines of using varied "fillers" such as epoxy glues, epoxy putty, "bond" like material and even a extra fill goods sold by Eastwood (which is an perfect product). After filling cracks and missing areas, you need to sand the repaired areas. This is a tedious job and will probably need more than one fill coat and manifold sanding sessions to get the wheel ready for final paint.
Damage History
This does work and will make a nice repair. Most likely, it will need to be redone in a join of seasons. Why will this heal need to be redone? For that matter, why did the steering wheel crack in the first place? The sass is simple. Most early steering wheels were made by forming the shape from metal shape or rings and then face with plastics. The early plastics were thermo reactive plastics. Basically, the plastics vast and ageement at a faster rate that the steel frames. Thus, the plastic cracked. These cracks enlarged and chunks fell out, leaving a real mess.
Today's fillers are much great and resist thermoplastic cracks. But, if you are using these with the traditional "plastics", you will have cracks at the union at some time. Instead of this type of heal patching, why not install a high capability leather steering wheel cover on your extra car. A good fitting leather cover will hide cracks and even cover some minor lost chinks in the plastic. You will save a lot of time and you should never have to do it again. An perfect option is a convention fitted Wheelskins cover for your wheel.
