Thread: Leather steering-wheel cover - fitting.

I had enough to go around twice on mine, found the needle supplied was a bit weak though, broke it half way through and had to find another in the missus sewing box

Thanks mate - the supplier reckons it won't be enough so I'm hoping they put in a spare spool before it gets shipped.
Don't spose it'd be too difficult to get something to do the trick locally - I'll let you know the outcome (as long as I don't stuff it up!)

I was dubious about the length of the twine supplied but there is plenty,just make sure you keep it all taut as you go along.Especially around the spokes.
Final result looks good...even though the wheel was badly worn across the top.

Just noticed your cover is from another supplier.
My steering wheel cover came from eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d Great improvement on the old worn wheel.

I want footage of these talented men with their sewing needles..

You would be surprised at what we can sew when the need arises. I resewed the tonneau cover on my old ute by hand when the stitching failed.

The people at "Wheelskins" told me there's not enough to do what they referred to as "Baseball-stitch" (which is what I actually meant ...as opposed to "double-stitch") ...so they're sending me another roll in the post - gratis.
Man-sewing isn't a cross-over into la-femme Michelle - Sails, Fishing-nets and whatnot ...aaargh!
...and yes there WILL be photos (if it turns out OK - otherwise probably NOT;-)

I have a wheel skin and I would say not enough so good they have sent you more I hope yours fitted better than mine...the company however was briliant we went through 3 skins to try and get the right one..and it still doesnt really fit brilliantly, its just bunched at the bottom of mine because the skin itself never needed stretching over the wheel because it was a fraction too big..

This was with a D1 though other people havent had issues...couldnt say a bad word about the company
