Make steering wheel thicker and wrap in alcantara
Hello,
I was inspired by our Thai forum member's rewrap of the steering wheel (herehttp://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=610899). I was thinking about doing the same, making the wheel thicker, but have the steering wheel wrapped in alcantara with white contract stitching (I have the white extended Kansas leather). Does anybody know a shop or place that can do that? I have a heated steering wheel, so that may add a bit of complication. Thanks! |

One of our member asked me to get the tailored leather, ship to him and stitch by himself. I am asking this shop to do this and will supply all the thread needed. Difficult part is the stitching if you brave enough to remove the old leather, a irreversible process. Material: Full grain leather, Alcantara is also possible if you look at the gear boot, I changed the small piece of leather to dark gray alcantara with light gray stitches to match the performance gear knob
