steering wheel cover?

Notice how the 1932 Ford hot rod rope cover "covers" all the wheel grip area - you have done the ground work to achieve such (a saddle xould be used to finish)

The string gets my vote too. Gives it a vintage competition look.

Hello Mike:
I didn?t mean the spokes itselfes, only the remaining parts of the rim near the spoke ends.
But basically you are right, I like it even so. Possibly I will leave it that way...

Today I startet a try like this:








Still not shure how to do the spoke areas:

Here you can see the cracks and it looks now repaired with Sugru-rubber.
Far away from perfect, but much better than before.









I am still going to find a suitable kind of cover.
Either like this:






Or like that:

Thanks Randy.
Anybody knows where this steering wheel comes from? Looks pretty old and fits perfectly.

Hello. Model A duesys wheels were always wood. R

Actually I am trying to repair it with this stuff, but I doubt if it will work well:

Mike,
I thought about that.
Somebody else tried to repair it before, without success. Its not made of plastics, it?s a hard rubber, nothing adheres at it in the long run. Unfortunatly.

Hi Andy, Why not repair the wheel? If you can do body work you can repair a steering wheel. Their are pamphlets in print to tell you how and I'm sure shops in Germany that could do it for you.

Merry christmas and a healthy new year to everybody!

A Question regarding vintage steering wheels:
My 1923 Duesi Model A steering wheel (original equipped with a kind of hard rubber) is multiple cracked. Thatswhy I am considering a steering wheel cover. What kind of cover could be period correct?

All I found is the classic leather cover, as popular in the 60ies and 70ies.

I also remember vintage steering wheels, wrapped around tight with a drawstring.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Andy
