Topic: Restoring EFFPI steering wheel

[skidado]

Hi - I'm looking to restore the EFFPI steering wheel from my 67 GT350 (#2751).

I think the wheel has been 'restored' in the past, as it appears to have lacquer/varnish on the wood rim and on the black plastic tabs that mount the spokes to the rim.  I assume this to be 'wrong'...

Can anyone tell me if the wood rim was originally lacquered or was it raw wood with some kind of oil treatment?

Any advice much appreciated.
