    Recover Steering Wheel

    I have an M-Tech 2 steering wheel that the leather is peeling off. I've seen people cover them in alcantra and other stuff. Anyone know someone or a shop that can do this?

    The only thing I would do is start shopping around some upholstery shops in your area. I'm sure someone can guide you in the right direction.

      I do not even mess with wheels I send all my customers to Alan of Alan gun leathers. I think he offers a DIY kit and all you have to do is hand stitch it on the wheel.

        Thanks. Looks like he starts at $209 to do wheels, probably a little more for one of these. I'm thinking of talking to some shore repair places since they are good with stitching in leather.

            That looks good I just can't justify spending that much.

              His kits are or were $60 for his basic wrap, give him a call.
