bgl Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello My steering wheel (tan) is sun-baked to the point of appearing to be black on the top. Does anyone know a place that will restore these? Also, any idea of cost? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic walker Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Good Morning - there is probably no restoration really possible for the current leather on your wheel. Craft Customs has done/recovered 2 wheels for me...excellent - superb work.....but not cheap ! Google Craft Customs for an estimate/price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y-JobFan Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have been lucky and had nice wheels but I often wondered when I saw ones that needed replaced if you could take the old cover off and use something like this. it would not be the best option for a show car but if you have a nice driver and are able to sit and install it neatly it should make for a nice installation https://www.autoanything.com/steeringwheel-covers/77A3792A4683348.aspx?kc=GOOGADW&DZID=PLA_g_1776971175_68637805626_3792-4683348_c&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=1776971175&utm_content=68637805626&utm_product=3792-4683348&gclid=CjwKCAjwte71BRBCEiwAU_V9hzPCdpKiu_2o4i_QaruxOY7PT1FDuxI5bxNVM7c9HBHNUsC-j4Y0GhoCrFgQAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The leather (do it yourself) covers were once available at all auto parts stores, but you seldom see them. I have used them on plastic wheels that I wanted to upgrade and they work pretty good but the installation all depends on the person doing the work. If you take your time and lace them carefully they will look good. The $60 price above seems high and an Ebay search will probably turn up a better price. Like Nic I had a tan and grey wheel done by the company in the Dallas area and their work is better than new but the price is around $200.....they will match existing color or do them in any color you want.

DAVES89 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Craft Customs does excellent work but the price is way higher then $200.00 I just bought a very nice 1988 with a marginal wheel and what I did was sand the leather and spray painted it with SEM. I think it turned out well for a daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think like anything else there are different quality levels available in the leather covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol' yeller Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I’ve had a couple wheels done by craft custom. Quality work isn’t cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
