Hi, I'm considering replacing the Bakelite steering wheel on my Series III with a wooden spoke steering wheel.
Have any of you done it and what precautions did you use?

I covered mine with Bakelite so I wasn’t castigated down the village pub. Nowt worse than being branded a pervert in the farmers guardian.
