Paint it! I know this sounds strange, but most Standard-Triumph steering
wheels of this era were painted. I have restored a steering wheel for a
Standard Atlas this way - this wheel is identical to the TR3 item but is
painted Coffee instead of Black. My wheel was badly damaged in many areas,
so once that was repaired with epoxy putty, the spokes were masked and
several coats of Coffee cellulose from an aerosol worked beautifully. You
will have less trouble finding a matching black in aerosol form......
Cheers,
Bill.
