Gear.jpgOk time for a revisit. Here is a pict of the coating coming off the steering wheel and shifter. Is there any way of fixing this without a full retrim. I've asked about the Leatherique steering Kit, but was told that the filler in the kit may fill in the perforated parts.

Don't waste time & money with do it yourself kits or snake oil that repairs leather. Get in touch with Guru Leather in SA. Frank is honest, well priced & his work is 2nd to none. He can recover your Momo wheel or he can provide a standard E/AU series in any combination of leather you can think of. Brand new wheels supplied inc postage under $300. Google details

They're not all snake oil. Leatherique is exceptionally good, but time consuming.

My wheel was almost worn to suede, natural oils and occasional grubby hands will do that



After the Leatherique 'treatment'.





Having said that, if I could have got out of it the easy way for $300, I probably would have

Those results look absolutely amazing.

I had never heard of the product before,
I just googled it, looks like they sell some great stuff.

It would be interesting to know how the repair holds up with time & use?
