My Sandlewood interior is finally done and I'm happy with it except the Saddle steering wheel is too dark for the rest of the interior. I'd like to locate a correct rallye steering wheel for a Sandlewood interior or, at least a lighter one that goes with everything else. I could either do a trade for the Saddle wheel I have or buy outright and sell mine later on. What do you have? I'd like one in as nice shape as the one I have which is very nice with good grain and the correct horn button.
BTT. Anyone steer me to a Sandlewood steering wheel? Or, at least one that is lighter than the one I have.
Rkammer, if you can't find a wheel you could use SEM's coatings to change the color of your existing wheel. I just did mine and it came out nice. Easy project for a enthusiast to do.
You would want to clean it with lacquer thinner , then rubbing alcohol, then mist a lit coat of adhesion promoter the light coats of the paint, it will hold up for a good while but will get thin if you don't move your hand around. But yes SEM is available in aerosol
Still looking for a Sandlewood rallye wheel before considering painting mine using the SEM paint. Anyone???
Ray. There is a guy on the "Buick Swap Meet" Facebook group that is selling one he calls gray. Looks light tan to me. Perhaps Sandalwood. https://www.facebook.com/groups/570...41374565930374/?sale_post_id=1541374565930374
Tried that link, Jim and didn't see anything about a steering wheel. Looks like I have to be approved to join that group. I answered approval questions but don't know how long it will take for moderators to approve me. Thanks for the heads up on the wheel. UPDATE: Mike Garrison just approved me for the group and I've seen the wheel and messaged the seller. We'll see if it's sandalwood or not.
