Restoring 240Z Steering Wheels

[Pir0San]

Hey, I know there was a post around here about how to restore and refinish a 240Z steering wheel, but for the life of me I cannot find it. I was able to find this link

but I could have swore that there was another thread with pics.

I just bought another steering wheel from ebay, and wanted to refinish it.

A search for "steering wheel restore" gave these, among others

Yeah, I tried "steering wheel restoration", but didn't see any of those. I guess I'm search handicapped. Thanks Arne!

I posted this one a while back, and theres some pics in my gallery. I think ARNE got it in his list there.

yep, Arne did. Thanks guys, I feel dumb now. It's strange that a string such as "steering wheel restoring" yields different results than "steering wheel restoration".

Now I just can't wait for my wheel to get here!

You guys think there would be any interest in leather wrapped steering wheels? (240's, 260's & 280's if the price was reasonable and excellent quality)

as loong as it didn't look more like a laced wheelskin cover than a factory leather covered steering wheel(the leather on the factory steering wheel in my Dodge 1500 Quadcab is beautifully done).

Post a pic of one if you have it. I think the wheel looks good because of the 'wood', so I wonder what a leather wrapped one will look like.

I've restored two steering wheels. I found it easier to use a Dremel tool to sand down most of the spokes. I have one of them for sale in the classified section. Here are some pictures of it.

Hey Zak, I will post a pic of one when I get it finished.

[LBO730]

This wheel is looking good. I haven't had a lot of time lately but I'm gettin there. I'll post a pic when I get thru.
