New vs restored steering wheel

It’s not as much of a band as it is a Mylar tape… Amazon.com

The ACP steering wheels don’t have a groove so this was just pressed onto the wheel and then covered with clear to keep it in place.

Thanks. Will have to check into this or other potential options. I thought I’ve seen stainless steel used as well, but assume the hardest part is finding the correct material that will fit into the groove.

I used something similar to this.

Cleaning out the groove it fit pretty cleanly, held it with a couple of drops of gorilla glue.

Here was the thread where I got awesome advice.
