Stitching a leather cover on a 69 rallye steering wheel.
Not going to install a tuff wheel in place of the 69 rallye steering wheel. TBH I think the rallye wheel looks better. Tuff wheel is 70s stuff along with locking column. It has no business being on a 69 model IMHO. The repair shown in mopar magazine details large cracks where the plastic shrank away from the metal hoop. I can fix these issues on my wheel. But what I also have is a lot of little hairline cracks or crazing all over the plastic besides the large cracks note pix below. Is there a good way to seal those up? I am figuring there is not, and that my best bet is repairing the large cracks with JB weld to make it solid. Then somehow to cover it up with a leather wrap might be the way to go.
