I have an Racemark steeering wheel , the leather is shot and seems to be bubbling something from inside out.
So I attaked it with a band saw. Strange inards, U shaped steel channel ,rivetted to the spokes and then coated with a rubber like goo. Attached thumbnail(s)

So I just acquired the very same wheel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Leather is good but the (Red) stitching is all but shot. It seems to suffer the same affliction as yours at the very top of the wheel where its seems to have swelled from the sun and popped the stitching ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Not sure what to do with it, looks very much like a Prototipo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
