Steering wheel refurbishment
Today I decided to address my rather aging steering wheel, having looked at the options from re-dyeing to replacing to re-trimming I decided to install a real leather trim which I purchased on line for a reasonable price.
I opted for a dark grey version and was very pleased to see a very high quality product arrive the very next day, I then studied the instructions included and set about installation, in total about an hour, taking my time, it involves stitching and pulling but apart from hands being a little soar, the finish is very good and the wheel feel superb the leather is soft and quite lovely to hold. I will post a picture if I knew how to go about it. Overall superbly pleased. |

Sounds good about the leather re-trim. Did you use a special thread and did you put this over the original or replace?
To insert images, in advance posting mode, click the "paperclip" icon. This allows you to add files from your local computer. Once uploaded, you can click on the paperclip "arrow" to the right to select an image and it will be inserted where the cursor is. Or :- On the bottom line of icons, 5 in from the right is a "landscape" type picture. This allows you to link to a file you have uploaded to an image hosting site (or any other URL from a web site).
