Really??... How much would it cost to recover a 10" steering wheel?? ... I also have an old steering wheel that's of sentimental value as it was fitted to my Dads mini back in the sixties. I've never been able to find anywhere that would be able to do it for an affordable sum though!!

[roberts]

Anything from £120 depending on the steering wheel and material.

I had two steering wheels done ,by a saddler and harness repairer,she did a rover cooper wheel in very very high quality leather matched the original red colour of the stitching and then did an astrali wheel in very thick black suede leather........£45 the pair...have a look in the yellow pages for saddlers or ask who repairs the saddles at a local equestrian centre...they usually have a local repairer who may just want a challenge (for cash.)......the lady who did mine has unfortunately emigrated...but I will find out who does this type of work for my daughters stables now shes gone
