Re: [MBZ] Geez

I’m sure it is probably epoxy of some sort. I was using “Bakelite” as something descriptive. The POR-15 people make a two-part epoxy to restore steering wheels. I’ve got some of it on the shelf, but I’ve never used it. -D > On Jul 3, 2024, at 8:06 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > >

Has anyone , over the years, ever made a set of master molds and made replacements that are recast on the original steel frame bits that make the original wheel? It seems that there would be a solid market, since the cracked and often nearly destroyed while wheels are one item that can't be obtaine

Re: [MBZ] Geez

Agreed. The off-white Bakelite steering wheel that was on the W110/111/112 models was a thing of beauty. I don’t recall the same on the W114/115, but there could very well have been the same on early models, I guess? I am pretty sure my 250C had a Bakelite wheel (1970) but it was black. Hmmm.

But there has always been something about the later steering wheel with the W115 dash that hasn’t sat well with me. AZBob Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 3, 2024, at 3:01 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes > wrote: > > They no what they got. > > That said, it is a nice looking car. I think $8k,

They no what they got. That said, it is a nice looking car. I think $8k, may $8.5k would be more in line, but I haven’t followed prices on these of late and the low miles make it a true Dean candidate. -D > On Jul 3, 2024, at 2:38 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > https://www.f
