Subject: Re: Restoring M45 steering wheel
Hi Barry,
I've had a closer look at the LG6's wheel today. There are traces, literally specks!, of chrome just visible on the small visible portion of the spokes between the boss and where the celluloid sheathing starts. The chrome must have been very poorly done originally, probably no copper or nickel "undercoats", but then they probably assumed a very protected car interior environment. So I think you can rest comfortable with your choice!
