I am looking for someone or some company to repair an Elan wooden steering wheel.
I am in Buffalo NY, but would not be adverse to sending it over seas if that is all that is available.

On the right side of the pond the first name I think of is Len Chandler. I have no personal experience, but have seen many examples of his work, which to my eyes were excellent.

Thanks. It would be nice to find some one on the North American side of the pond. I did send him in email, non the less.

I have had an e-mail exchange with Mike Lempert and he sounds very capable of taking care of any problem your wheel may have. I will probably be sending my wheel to him at some point for a new rim. However I haven't actually had work done by him or seen his work (other than on the web site) so I don't have real first-hand knowledge, either. Turn-around is likely to be lengthy (months) so you need to have another wheel available, or have it done during the winter.
