Can someone tell me if there is a way to repair cracks in a steering wheel, or should I just get off my wallet, and get a new one?

Ronnie,

I did the same thing as Dave did! I went one step further and coated it with a plasti-dip coating that you dip the end of your tools into. After I sanded the spots smooth where the cracks were along with the rest of the wheel, I dipped the wheel in the plasti-dip (turning it real slow)and eventually coated the whole "grip" part of the wheel. Painted the center of the wheel orange again, and it was a done deal! Took that $75. they wanted for a repro and put it towards the engine rebuild..... ..Got the Plasti-dip through Napa P/N-765-2502 Black. I used two of the small cans. Hope this helps. Steve

Steve: That was a smart idea, I will surely remember that.

Thank you Dave. Yeah, it worked out great! It also evened and smoothed out some of the other "nastyness" in the part of the wheel that wasn't cracked. I figured, what the heck, I'll try it! I was pretty surprised myself with the results..... ... Steve

I have fixed my wheels with J B Weld, I think they call it quick fix. If you are not missing big chunks it is pretty easy. Mix it up smear it in the crack with your finger, when it cures just sand it down and then you are ready to paint.
