65 standard steering wheel
« on: August 22, 2012, 05:16:17 PM »
I have looked at three different sources for a decent repro steering wheel
but haven't been happy with any of them (big surprize!)
My 65 has red interior so the wheel should be bright red, two of the
wheels I ordered were a molded color darker red than my original cracked
wheel, the third was a brighter red but was painted.
I would be ok with a nice used original but that may be difficult to find.
What is the best source for a decent repro wheel or any suggestions?

IMHO, the best option is to find NOS or restore an original... although restoring an original will most likely involve painting.

This company seems to restore steering wheels using color-through casts.
