Series 2 steering wheel remanufacture

Hi,
One of the other small jobs I have done, whilst collecting parts for the more involved work on Sally to come, is to change the steering wheel.
I was fortunate enough to get hold of a refurbished one a few years back but never got round to installing it on Olwyn and given the state of the one on Sally I'm glad I still have it.
You can see why from the state of the one I removed in the pictures below, way beyond a simple resin repair.
However it seems a waste to just throw it away when I believe there is a company out there that has moulds and can 'remanufacture' them.
Does anybody have their details / company name, so I can look them up and see how much it would cost?
Best wishes,
Mike.

A quick look at the net revealed the following Websites of companies that offer steering wheel restoration:

https://www.steeringwheelrestoration.co.uk/

http://www.edsteeringwheels.co.uk/index.php

https://www.classiccarsadvisor.com/supplier/1380

http://www.garyssteeringwheel.com/

These are just a few, there are much more.

Blimey, I thought I'd struggle to find the one that Fuzz Townsend has used on Car SOS, let alone other options!
Thanks very much.
Mike.

I think you would be surprised how well the cracks would cover in with some areldite, it may take several applications to fill them completely but would be worth the effort.
