Leslie.. I don't think they were ever painted. They should have a matt silvery finish.

are they anodised aluminium? I have often wondered.Comment

Think it might well be hard anodised, yes.Header tanks - you can't beat a bit of bling.Comment

The steering wheel is stamped steel with a satin chrome finish on the spokes, originally.There are 2 secrets to staying on top :- 1. Don't give everything away.

I’m going to use a magnet to check if it’s steel, although some grades of stainless are not magnetic….Richard

the previous owner had painted the spokes black to cover corrosion i removed the wheel and carefully emery papered the paint and corrosion away i the polished coarse then fine valve grinding paste before finishing with metal polish i then bought a new leather cover from mister steering on ebay for under £20 which fitted beautifullyComment

hi
i am very pleased with the finish its slightly brighter than the original i was going to buy a second hand steering wheel but when you looked closely at the wheels on ebay most of them had corrosion so i am glad i refurbished my wheel if the corrosion is deep you could use a small orbital sander its rely down to elbow grease to get the finish if you fit a cover it also masks were the spokes meet the rim as its difficult to get the finish right up to the leatherComment
