marshman777 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Just bought an old steering wheel for a few quid which is in decent condition, apart from the leather round the wheel in one spot. Would like to change the leather on the wheel but can't find a seller of steering wheel leather. Anyone know where i can get one.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.in_Lux Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I know a chap who will redo the steering wheel, as I'll be going to him in the very near future.Bascharage in Luxembourg might be a bit far for you though...Do you know of any upholsteries locally? They should be able to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Had a similar post (was that you as well), worth looking on there.If not, I have a magazine at home with an article in about how to re-trim wheels etc. could be worth a look at least?

marshman777 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yes probably, could you scan the article and email it to me, hope it's not too much trouble. Can't find any leather yet mind. Was hoping it to be my little christmas project, but unless i can find the correct leather i am stuck.ThanksAndy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It's not an easy thing to do well I have watched people trimming steering wheels in the Bentley leather trim shop. You need a leather that has been scarffed which is shaved on the back face very thin leather you find such leather on high quality Sofas, coats or jackets even handbags. I hope this helps you in finding a suitable leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'll do it in a few days. PM me with your prefered email address.Half an idea the mag also has places you can source stuff from. mind you the amount you'd need for a steering wheel could almost be classed as an offcut.
