I have an older momo competition wheel that I really like, I put a wheelskin on it and its "ok" but I'd much rather have it look new. I heard someone say once that momo wheels can be "referbished" does anyone know who, where, how, etc. or is it just cheaper to find a new one that has a look and feel that you can stand? Talk to me Goose......

I talked to an upholstery shop about recovering a wheel once....they could do it but the cost was close to that of a new one.

That's what I'm afraid of and I don't think that there is anything "special" about this wheel except that I really like the feel of the damn thing.... |

what did you do for the foam that is under the leather? what glue are you going to use to make the leather stick to the foam? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Andy |

Not to answer for him, but a common glue used in custom upholstery is 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. Andrew |
