Some steering wheel repair, not factory correct but at least that will work as model for casting mold( maybe in the future..).
Lots of cracks , cracks cleaned and opened and then repaired with 2k epoxy (lead substitute for welding seams) .
Horn cushion need some love (..like every part..).
The vinyl was loose and needed gluing back into shape. For that I made gluing mold out of plywood and polyester filler.
For gluing you need medical syringe and polyurethane glue.
After gluing surface covered with polyurethane filler just making the surface even. Next to last pic shows result after gluing. Now this is ready for paint.
