My TR2 steering wheel has cracks at the outside end of the spokes ("T"
style). For at least one of them, your method will work to seal the crack,
but one of them, the plastic has cracked and lifted away from the "spokes".
Do you (or anyone else) have suggestions on how to bend that back down? The
two thoughts I've had are:
A) Heat that portion, and "re-mold" it back down against the spokes, then
apply epoxy,
or
B) Do the epoxy repair first (resulting in quite a healthy bump), and sand
the original plastic and the new epoxy back down to reform the original
shape.
Comments anyone? Other ideas?
TIA
