Series one steering wheel cover

[mildred]

Hi there
My steering wheel on my S1 1952 landie 80 inch, is looking a bit tatty now.
I used to have a tight fitting leather steering wheel cover, sewn on with twine, they even supplied a curved needle with the cover! The size is 17 inch (43 cm or 430 mm) .I have searched far and wide on the net and can only find a fluffy Australian lambs wool one (Yuck) and of course everything else is made for modern small diameter wheels! Does anyone know where the old fashioned, lace up,leather steering wheel covers can be found?

Try a place that specialises in accessories for trucks, not cars.

Pangolin 4x4 in the States do them especially made for series LR's. I have one and will be buying another shortly from them.

Not cheap but worth it and I couldn't find anyone else that made them either when I looked

Interesting site that. Thanks.

Hi there

You can still purchase steering wheel tape from most auto outlets.

What I have done is repair the cracks with a little auto filler, sand and paint with epoxy paint and use the strapping. The strapping is about an inch wide and you buy it in 2 meter lenghts.

Just a surgestion.....cheaper option than getting covers from the UK etc.

Do not be tempted to buy one of the 430mm 'slip on' ones from SuperCheapAuto. They do NOT slip on and I actually ripped one trying to stretch it enough to fit.

Just my 2 cents. Others may have had a better experience.

Hi Ike,

I ordered one of your wheel covers for my 101FC just before Christmas - is smaller than a series 1 wheel and I had to provide wheel dimensions to you. Is now fitted and fits beautifully - is a great product and works really well.

Thanks

G'day Ike,
Thanks for joining us. I was the one who purchased one of you last week - and tipped you off on aulro.com Can I have the group discount too? Or do I get a spotters fee.

Fitted my Pangolin wheel cover today - Thanks Ike.
Looks and feels great.
The exchange rate is pretty good at the momemnt so should be able to get it for under $50AU delivered.

No more sweaty slippy steering wheel
