So, my early 60's sterring wheel only has 2 cracks in it. Is there anyone out there with a process to restore these, or a DYI method to fill the cracks with something durable with good appearance?
I've used PC-7 as a filler for the cracks and it came out excellent
hit it with adhesion promoter and sealed it with primer. than hit it with Base coat color and clear
here's some pic's
it was pretty bad. lots of hand sanding and it was nice in the end.
one of the guys on here made a jig holding a dremel to sand the finger cutouts (smart man there, I'm going g to steal that idea and do my next 2 that way on a umm swiped from the house "lazy susan" the wife doesn't know about yet.) saving tons of work.

here is a quick link to 1 way of fixing it (por15 epoxy is ok but pc-7 is better for holding)
