Thread: Series 1 1950 MY Steering Wheel new Bakelite rim.

I know he's on the Series Land Rover Australia page on Facebook, goes by the name of ''Uwe Bartelmuss'' He restores old steering wheels and sells them. Quite expensive I'm told

There are a couple of company's in Vic who I believe do them ( Pearl Craft) and ( Yester Years Steering Wheel Restorations) they are expensive & for some reason black finish like S1's have is more expensive. Also I have not bought a Restored Cars Mag for a long time but there was a company advertised in there that did them. It will depend on the condition of your old wheel if it can be restored & cost as well.
I have also seen the one Jerry mentioned on FB.

I restored mine myself. repaired the splits with two part filler, primer filled it and then two coats of 2 pac top coat took about 4 hours and cost no more than $20. It's very shiny

If one finds it overly shiney, a flattening agent can be added, to achieve the level of sheen desired.
