Steering wheel repair

[lcfmonkey]

The good news is I've removed the steering wheel, the bad news is a hoofing chunk of Bakelite has snapped off. I have the chunk, can it be glued back in place and will the wheel still be safe to use?
Cheers

Yes, it can be repaired. The steering wheel has a metal frame so will still be rigid.

I used a 2 part araldite to repair cracks and fill in for small missing bits on mine.

To fill in any cracks etc look for 'Milliput' modelling epoxy on ebay/amazon etc, used it before and it can be sanded & painted with good results

Done the same thing whilst removing the steering wheel. Now back to normal. Minus a spray. I used

EVO-STIK Hard & Fast Metal Epoxy Putty, Sets Steel Hard in 10 Minutes, Colour: Grey, 50g stick​

It was on Amazon for £6:94.

Works a treat. Although I did leave a little too much on so I had to sand it a fair bit. But no harm done.

I used that evostik putty for the same fix and it’s great - mind you’ll have to redo it each time you take off the steering wheel
