    These sell for about $50-$60 landed at your door. The link indicates Series 1 landies but he does make to order - I for one for my 101 and a number of people on AULRO have bought from them.

    They are an excellant product and fit and work really well. All they need are your wheel diameter/circumference and the circumference around the rim (so he can determine how wide the make the material.

    Pangolin Leather Steering Wheel Covers

    Thoroughly recommended.

    I brought A cover from Big W a few years ago. It has a woodgrain look to it and rubber dimples at the 2-6-10 o'clock locations. They are a bit of a tight fit, but once on they are great. PS: Mine is an Airbag wheel.

    Here you go Chris, they look thick in the photo, but actually only add a 2mm to the diameter.
    Here's the pics of the one I installed today Took me 4 hours of stitching, even those the supplier on their web site reckons their staff can do it in 30mins.
    I flowed the instructions at first which said to inter loop the stitching thread by looping on the sewn thread of the cover, I found I broke the actual stitching when I tried to pull it together. So ended up blanket stitching it instead. at the spoke junctions I ended up painting some contact adhesive to the cover inside and to the wheel, this enabled it to sit flat as it had a bit of a bellow on it.
    the finished result isn't to bad.
    If I did it again I reckon I would use leather but would contact the leather to the steering wheel and then finish it with the sewing. I reckon it would hold it in place better whilst working on it. I also found that stitching the top and bottom first and then doing the side was better than just working around the entire wheel.( but make sure you turn each section you are working on to the Bottom as it is much easier to work on.)
