Re: Steering wheel re-size

I tried using the mold method but the transition from rim to spoke you had to make was a PITA. You are dealing with 3 different transitions on a new rim to an old spoke. If it was old to old, the mold method for a transition would be easy with minimal cleanup on mold before casting. Mine leaked out J B weld.
But on just a rim repair pour, that would be easy.
Had to cut back enough bakelite to weld, then fill back in. have about 30 hours in, not counting the hurry up and wait for the goop to harden.
