Decoding steering wheel part #, Off of my 72 914 4 Options

[sholman5]

Can anyone tell me if this is a 914 4 or 914 6 steering wheel
It is a leather wrap, but the top is deteriorated because of sun
exposure. It has a foam rubber beneath the leather.

Resurrection.
So I didn't see it discussed or perhaps adequately described but there are a couple materials used to "form" the wheel, a rubber wrap & a hard plastic or ebonite wrap
Ive never had a Ebonite wheel fail but Ive experienced plenty of rubber wheels that the wrap portion had become unglued allowing the wrap to twist around the wheel frame.
Is there any way to fix those other than cut off & replace that wheel base?

Most common I've heard of is to inject thin super glue via hypodermic needle down to the steel core. The weakness of this solution is if the foam is degrading there won't be much left to actually form a bond with.

I too have a wheel with loose rubber in just the top area but haven't tried to fix it yet. I'm 99% sure the super glue implant will work. The only other viable option I see is to split it and then reglue with contact cement and leather wrap over that to hide the split seam.

Curious what others might have done DIY and history of success in long term.
