For better than 20 years I'd used PC-7, a two part epoxy available at good hardware stores for repairing cracks in steering wheels. This was the product recommended by jack Turpin, the steering wheel restoration guru. In recent years I have switched to the body filler used on modern vehicles for bumper covers, etc. It stays flexible, is easier to use than PC-7 and lasts performs just as well. One word of advice here - buy high quailty filler. They are NOT all created the same. If your local Auto-Zone sells it, it's probably not adaquet. To source, go to a good auto body supply outlet, one that does nothing but supply body shops.

I believe Eastwood has a steering wheel repair kit.

According to Ford drawings for 48-3600, 35 steering wheels were made of hard rubber or Aceto-Butyrate

I used NuMetal from KBS Coatings for a steering wheel on my '36 truck with great success. I started out using PC-7 on the small cracks, but went to NuMetal for the big gaps and found it easier to work with.

I agree with Mike, use Evercoat flexible filler. Open up the cracks and drill a hole in each side to accept the filler, fill the drilled holes and the crack with Evercoat and let cure. Sand the filler to conform with the wheel's shape and paint. Tom
