Car Forum / Volvo Cars / June 2006P1800S Restoration
I'm restoring a 1966 P1800S. It came with a wood rim steering wheel. Unfortunately the stainless steel has cracked and can't be welded. Can anyone help with a replacment? ddrbrend@bigpond.net.au > I'm restoring a 1966 P1800S. It came with a wood rim steering wheel. > Unfortunately the stainless steel has cracked and can't be welded.

Any competent machine shop with a TIG welder should be able to fix it. cheers! > > I'm restoring a 1966 P1800S.

Dave, if it is an original volvo option wheel it is worth fixing, one sold on ebay last week for over $1200.00 good luck, george calgary > > > I'm restoring a 1966 P1800S.
