The steering wheel on my boat was sun damaged beyond repair. (Imagine that, fifty years in the desert). Anyways, I stripped it down to the metal ring. Is there anything I can do with it or am I just going to have to get a new one? I saw the wooden wheel build it yourself link, not for me.

www.fiberglassics.com/glassic-forums/2-main-forum/44135-removing-this-steering-wheel.html#44135

Here is a before pic, you can see the wheel a little bit.
It was black and white, the middle grab areas were like a flying V in shape

also may be able to see a little more in this
