    Original Leather Steering Wheel Wrap

    Does anyone know who sells original factory Marauder Leather Steering Wheel Wrap ? Only part of my MM that looks tattered. Can someone give me a supplier name and address or web site ? Did anyone replace it themselves and how hard was it ? Went to places that do auto upholstery in the area but nobody does the leather Steering Wheel Wraps. Anybody know of any in the Philadelphia area?

    Best I can offer is this: http://www.pantherbb.com/Thread-The-...g-Wheel-Thread
    Look up Dallas Custom Steering Wheels if that link won't load.
    Best of luck!!

    Best bet is to find a replacement steering wheel in good shape.
    Thanks to Darrin @ BC Automotive:
    $1800 and it was worse than when he started!

    I agree with fordNut


    You can call this place and ask, one member had front leather seats done here and was very pleased.

    Yeah, the steering wheel leather is getting to that age. Getting to be a popular question lately. There are some expensive maintenance items that nobody does to ordinary cars; paint, upholstery, etc.

    I don't see what good another old steering wheel is. Bite the bullet and send it to the pros.

    I once found a custom cut leather steering wheel over wrap, custom cut and inside edge folded, that came with a steel "needle" and a long wax type thread.

    Sat in the drivers seat for 40 min with an adult beverage and installed it. It was awesome and made the wheel 1/8 inch bigger around (note: 1/4 total).

    I would do it again to all my cars if I could find them again.
