1969 Camaro Rosewood Steering wheel Repair

[firstgenaddict]

I have not heard of anyone fixing Rosewoods.
The biggest problem I can see with repairing them is the fact that the rim has some give, it's not really an ultra HARD plastic like the std wheels.
I have repaired std hard black plastic wheels & I can get repair material which is similar in "feel" to the rosewood however the problem is with the color.
Everything I can get is charcoal grey/black & will never get close to a rosewood.

IMHO the only way to actually fix it would be to create a mold from a good example & recast the flexible plastic, otherwise I feel the repair would not bond to the existing material.

If you could find something the correct color you can use a dremel and recess the inside of the cracks creating a cavity larger than the outside crack, when filled with repair material it could separate from the existing material if stressed, however because the underlying cavity is larger than the crack the repair will not "fall out".
