Title: Remanufacturing of steering wheels
Post by: thekaiserkid on November 23, 2017, 10:55:32 PM: I heard some grumblings about our streering wheels a few monts ago. Is it really happening? Does anybody who's doing them?

One big problem was finding old cores to re-do as we did not manufacture complete new steering wheels but replaced the plastic on the old wheels. There are a few companies that will do that today but I do not know what the cost is, Place an ad in our Bulletin and see if you can locate one that way or check with our K-F suppliers to see what is available. The club has no plans to do steering wheels in the near future.
