  View original topic: Steering wheel repair?

Anyone know of an outfit that would repair steering wheels? I've got an original Empi wheel on my Manx, the center cap used to just snap over the horn ring - but the cap is well worn inside, the plastic snap ring is busted in a couple spots. I could probably glue the thing to the horn ring, but that kinda defeats the purpose of being removable.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Rick

Could you JB weld it to build it up and then sand it down to create a pressure fit?

That'spretty much how it goes on the horn ring, I think, so I don't know if JB would have enough "give" to slip over the mounting ears (little thin wires on the ring). I think if I pushed it too hard, other parts of the center cap ring would snap...good thought, though. Keep 'em coming!
