I sent my original steering wheel out to Koch's Steering Wheel Restoration.
They did a great job on it. They sanded it and filled the cracks and then
painted it with automotive paint. It looks fantastic. Eastwood sells a book
on steering wheel restoration that is pretty good. As to finding a steering
wheel. Good luck. Most people don't want
to get rid of theirs. Anything that is not reproduced by the aftermarket is
difficult to find. Start going to those British Car Swap Meets.
