Crazyfamily 224 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I love this group!!! So much knowledge and willingness to help others, again I love it. i have wondered what my 1927 Standard steering wheel “spokes” were supposed to be finish wise?? They almost look like worn nickel to me, can anyone confirm what my car should have? i appreciate it.... Link to post Share on other sites

Hugh Providing we don’t get the planned snow or rain Sunday I’ll be out in the car Sunday and will try a little of my magic polish on the spokes and report..... Link to post Share on other sites
Hubert_25-25 1,630 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The 1925 Standard parts book only lists 1 steering wheel 182365, so they were all black spokes in 1925. The 1927 steering wheel is a different number. The parts book looks like the spokes are not black. Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Milewski 70 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 We had it stripped of old black/deep deep burgundy almost ten years ago and had it stained black 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Kikta 673 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Well I have decided to stain my wheel and as soon as that cures well, I'll begin putting some spar varnish on. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Kikta 673 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thank you Morgan! Spar varnish should make it look nicer Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan Wright 970 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 No I'm serious, the black streaks disappeared and blended in with the brown, looks totally natural. Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Kikta 673 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I also sanded more of the black streaks off with a course wheel on my dremel before applying the stain which helped a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Kikta 673 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Here are a couple of pictures of my finished wheel and finished sector levers. It’s awaiting wiring and horn button installation. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
