Kinda steep on price for a 7 day warranty.

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.

Ok

Honestly, I'd get the rest of the truck in order first. I'd hate to see you spend time and money on a steering wheel before you even get to the point of needing it. I'd make sure the engine rebuild goes well and you get some other things done before wasting that much time and money. Seems like there are plenty of other things to do.

Around the groove paterns will be difficalt but it is posable.

I think I get groove patterns on the POR steering wheel repair kit.

Your right. I wasnt gonna jump on anything yet. I just wanted to know if anybody used the POR15 steering wheel repair kit.

Well if thats true. Then it might be a better way. It all comes down to weather you got the money or not and the time to put in to it.

Thats true. He may find a better wheel in the prosses of looking for other parts.
