Title: steering wheel Post by: lancianut666 on 03 May, 2014, 04:10:36 PM hi
anybody changed out a series 1 wheel the white one I have is cracked all over and is an awful colour where I poured some hot water on it to get the horn push out.

Title: Re: steering wheel Post by: the.cern on 07 May, 2014, 03:49:44 PM I had a long chat with Arthur Keeling a few decades ago, he explained how he rebuilt a Lambda wheel with araldite, just building it up, layer by layer and sanding back as necessary. If I recall correctly the finish was black cellulose spray. Needless to say, it, being done by Arthur, was a faultless job!! I do not know which would be easier, I think James, your fibre glass resin, with a little fine filler as necessary would be the best option. As a matter of interest James, what type of paint was used for the finish?
