My cousin has been able to repair old cracked steering wheels using JBWeld. Grind the cracks down im a V pattern. Then apply JB Weld in the cracks. Sand down smooth out. Apply a little body filler were needed. Then scuff and prep for primer. Wet sand smooth then you're ready to paint it any color i need it to be.

I'd try thiis before spending $200+ for a new steering wheel.

So I would grind the cracks down in a "'V" pattern meaning angle the grind down towards the crack?

Basicly yes. In other words the cracks are a straight crack. You'll need to bevel the cracks in a V shape. So you are giving the JB Weld more to hold on to.
