    Where to get a steering wheel recovered.

    I am trying to get a few M-tech II's together and shipped to the US and I want to find a good place to have them recovered. Any good places?

          is another good site for re-covering your wheels.

          Problem is that is what you are looking at for a decent job on re-covering a steering wheel. There is a lot of time involved in it. It's all done by hand, and the person needs to be skilled in doing it to have it come out half way decent.

          For the most part it is all done by hand, there are a couple of stitches that use a little help from a machine, but for the majority it's all done by hand.

          A cheaper job can look good, but most likely you get what you paid for. Are you a gambling man? Good luck.


          aglausa.com is the Alan Gunn guy.

          I had one covered a couple years ago at a place down in Florida (sent it off). Just my luck it got there before a hurricane and it sat for weeks before I got it back. And when it arrived it was horrid, at least in my opinion. I'd sent the leather to match the rest of the guy's interior, but they fold over the edge of the material where it was stitched. Just raw edges butted up, too thin of thread stitching it together, and the thread color in no way matched the material. I was very disappointed for the $300 I'd paid, but I guess you get what you pay for.
          This may not be typical but was something I heard about him.
