steering wheel recovery

[blueapplesoda]

Ive got a momo typ v36....it needs restoration bad....is it something i can do? I am somewhat proficient with a needle but ive only sewn cloth, not leather.

every shop i called wants at least 300....i say no.

I would also like to know how to stitch items like these....i can't find any type of reading material to guide me

befriend a shop, they have proper tool to do the inside stitch.

Can you post some pictures of it?

i did some research on this a few months ago. i think this is very doable yourself it will just take time and patience. I know there is somekind of special needle in order to pull the thread through and tight. I think you will find some good info with a google search, that is what i did.

if the leather is not torn i would suggest the leatherique dye, i just did my mtech 2 and it came out great! good feel etc.

ive got an od mtech1 that needs a little resto, its got a hoe that i think is worn all the way though.

Since i dont think theres anyway to fix that,

recover?

experience with wheelskins?

[blueapplesoda]

agla does factory wheels for not too much...its those custom wheels that i have a hard time trying to find someone who actually knows how to do it from scratch.

i have put wheelskins on cars before (jeep wrangler, 85 s10 blazer)

they can look decent, a pita to put on, it really depends on the wheel shape as to how good they will look in the end. probably the best "cheap" fix you will find.

Well a wrap kit from {forget where} is only like 10 more i believe, you just need to stictch...

but that could be a huge PITA

I've had Carter do one, excellent work & quick turn around -

Also, these guys are highly recommended,

It is very time consuming work - hence the high cost. You might try TJ & some of the custom upholstery shops - don't believe all you hear, some are great shops that do quality work.

Really great sites. I think I'm going to purchase one of their one piece shift knob and leather boot combo, seams like a good price? $59.95 or something.
