66 Cutlass Steering Wheel

I am looking for someone who restores steering wheels, my 66 Cutlass wheel has the typical cracks in it, any help would be great.
Thanks, Ron

They recast them and paint to match.

What Mike said.....Koch's is one of, if not the only, places that does it that way. From what I've seen most of the wheel restorers just "V" out the cracks, fill with epoxy, sand, prime,level, etc and then paint the wheel. Cheaper most likely but then who's to say a NEW crack doesn't show up on some other part of the wheel later on as it continues to age, expand/contract, etc?
