Hi was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for getting my steering wheel refurbished. It has all come unstitched and the leather is all worn.



Thanks

Will probably be cheaper to buy another good one. Unless you are attached to it?

[clivemk1mini]

Yeah it would be cheaper but I'm building the car me and my dad talked about building and this is a steering wheels from one of his minis. He past away in 2009 at just 54, so would like to use this steering wheel so there is always a part of him in the car.

Thanks

Try someone that makes/mends saddles or leather upholstery. Put either of these terms into google and it should bring something up.

Thanks Jake cooper my wife has horses so maybe her saddler can help thanks again

I think Frost sell a kit - apparently it's fiddly and time consuming but not hard to do to a good standard at home if you follow the instructions.

Its something a few people have been looking into, and its something that most people give up on.

If you do find someone, please let us all know!!
