I'd like a recommendation for steering wheel restoration for a 1938 Super Eight banjo wheel.
Thanks.

Dennis at Quality Restorations is an excellent resource for this. He is a former plastics engineer who properly recasts wheels in modern thermoplastic, giving a look that's identical to the original but that won't shrink or crack like the old stuff did.
Other so called restoration companies end up painting their wheels (NOT how the factory did it in most cases), often times because they have to -- their plastic process is frequently flawed and the wheels end up full of bubbles, weakening the integrity of the wheel. Give Dennis a call and talk to him -- he's a font of knowledge-- and I feel sure once you've connected with him you'll be confident he's your man. http://qualityrestorations.com/ 858-271-7374
