Steering Wheels

Good Folks.

My Steering Wheel on my 1996 Toronado needs to be reconditioned or (better) replaced. It is cracked and separated in 10 places. Does anyone know of a source for a (non-cracked) replacement (NOS or used)? Can anyone recommend a craftsman who can recondition the whell I have?

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Many thanks.

There are two ways to go, depending on your wallet and the quality you want. There are vendors who completely remold your steering wheel. This is all custom and priced accordingly (expect to pay $750 and up, depending on the complexity and number of colors). For more reasonable money, get a steering wheel repair kit from Eastwood. This is epoxy putty that you mold into the cracks then sand and form into the original shape. You need to paint the wheel after that.
