Re: Steering wheel re-size

Is it possible to cut the AD rim into 3 or 4 sections and tighten the radius of each section?
This is what I saw in a post somewhere, but the pictures did not really show the process well. The final result looked good in the one picture but I could not tell if it was a true circle or a 'clover' shape. I have concerns that trying to bend it might break the Bakelite off

you could make a silicon mold of a section of the AD rim with the finger grooves and use it to recast the rim with epoxy at the welded spots. Smooth-on is a brand commonly used by model makers
